"Ghost Town" is a photobook by German photographer Stephan Würth. Born in Germany and raised in Texas and California, Würth was captivated by the majestic nature and road culture of the American West, which nurtured his sensibilities as a photographer. While he has worked in the field of fashion photography for international publications such as "Vogue," "GQ," "Esquire," and "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition," this book is a landmark first collection in which he truly presents his own artistic style. The setting is a ghost town in Nevada. Three women traveling through the desolate desert are stranded in the wilderness after their car breaks down, and a road movie-like story unfolds quietly. The photographs, shot over seven days on Kodak Tri-X black and white film and produced by scanning 16x20 inch hand-printed images, are included without any digital retouching. The wind and light blowing across the dry land, and the solitude and tension of the figures emerge in a beautiful yet cinematic monochrome world. The sophisticated book design by the prestigious Italian publisher Damiani further enhances the world of the work, resulting in a book that beautifully combines the aesthetic sensibilities cultivated as a fashion photographer with a longing for the American West.
