Prestel Depth of Field: The Aga Khan Beyond the Lens
Gary Otte accompanied the Aga Khan as a photographer for more than thirty years, and gained unique access to the archives of the Prince at Aiglemont in France. Presented for the first time in one volume, these images offer a narrative of the Aga Khan’s life and work as a public figure and private citizen. More than 200 photos, each with a caption, span eight decades and forty-eight different countries, and include the work of Gary Otte and fifty other photographers. From his childhood years in Nairobi, Kenya, to his education at Harvard and his numerous visits to various countries all over the world, the photographs above all illustrate the Aga Khan’s numerous achievements in the areas such as economic development, education, international diplomacy, humanitarian aid, and architecture in Islamic countries, especially through the actions of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN). This unprecedented collection of images is certain to interest anyone curious about the life of a man who has straddled the globe in more ways than one.
