TAXI DRIVERS. Written In Their Faces

Cab drivers in three metropolises on three continents form the backdrop for the extraordinary premium photo book "Taxi Drivers. Written In Their Faces“ by Klaus Maria Einwanger. Most people associate cab driving in these cities with iconic vehicles: The Yellow Cabs in New York City, the black limousines of London, and the shiny polished Tokyo cabs. The personal stories of the drivers in these cities inspired internationally renowned photographer Klaus Maria Einwanger. The daily existential worries of New Yorkers, the hardiness of Londoners, and the distinguished pride of Tokyo drivers form the narrative in Taxi Drivers. Written In Their Faces – an aesthetic and equally cosmopolitan discovery of a seemingly mundane microcosm. The authentic portraits of the drivers also show the recent developments caused by ride-sharing apps like Uber. Einwanger's work visually documents the slow decline in values, masterfully photographed with Leica cameras. The faces portrayed tell of hope lost and desperate battles fought but also of combative spirit and creative protest. His homage to the cab drivers of this world is personal and universal – and, as he points out, "written in their faces."
