Jens Olof Lasthein: "White Sea Black Sea"
Dewi Lewis 2008, ISBN 9781904587606
His first book from Journal publishing went by largely unnoticed before being listed in the Parr / Badger Volume 2, but his second book will gain its fame more quickly. Lasthein is a very talented photographer and his panoramic views of the eastern bordertowns and its inhabitants are never about showing off his technique. The border between Europe and the east and the societies and countries on the other side have been attracting him for more than twenty years, and his power of observation and the virtuosity in which he moves his camera provide rich images and stories. Listed among the people he extends his thanks to at the end of the book are Bertien van Manen, Anders Petersen and Lars Tunbjörk, and although one doesn't want to compare Lasthein it is worth mentioning that he does not fall short of his peers.
A lot of the images are available on the photographer's own page a: www.lasthein.se/
