Magnus Scharmanoff

The Fox Man (2006) Magnus Scharmanoff (born 1964) is a Finnish photographic artist, earlier associated with The Helsinki School.

While the previous collection, a sense of loss, was made in 1997, now the middle aged artist explores the role of a man from a different perspective.

Man is a character from a fairy tale who walks the streets alone as a clown or explores from the distance as the women are in the control.

Magnus Scharmanoff stages his photographs using real-life situations usually among Finnish nature and he does not use computer manipulation.

[6] The Finnish author Kari Hotakainen who wrote the introduction to his book, A Sense of Loss, which illustrates the collection said that he wishes there would be more of those days staged by Scharmanoff.
