Hoffmann as photographer
From 1961 he produced professional photographic works in his Hamburg tattoo studio. Thus Herbert Hoffmann portrayed almost 400 tattoos within three decades with a Rolleiflex, born between 1878 and 1952.[2]
His photographic work has been represented by Galerie Gebr. Lehmann since 2004.[3]
"The portraits are staged with great formal care and seriousness. The result is the image of a subculture that has its roots in the gay scene and among sailors and dock workers, but which goes far beyond it."
