Weymann’s Searching for the Old Bearded Fisherman is an intriguing mix of documentary and playful storytelling. The idea of chasing an image—only to question its very existence—is something many photographers can relate to. The photos are well-composed, and the narrative is engaging without trying too hard to be profound. The included booklet with photography tips is a great addition, offering a mix of practical advice and tongue-in-cheek observations. A solid and enjoyable photobook.

I really liked the way this book questions expectations. It’s not just about an old fisherman—it’s about the way we construct and chase visual ideals. Some of the photos feel almost cinematic, while others are more casual, but together they create an interesting rhythm. The added booklet on photojournalism is useful, especially for young photographers. A well-thought-out project with an engaging perspective.

This book is as much about the search as it is about the fisherman. Weymann’s images are thoughtful, with a mix of candid and carefully framed shots. The sequence keeps you engaged, and the design is clean and well-executed. The photography guide is a nice touch—it’s not groundbreaking, but it adds another layer to the project. Worth checking out if you like photobooks that play with perception and reality.

A well-put-together book that takes an unusual approach to storytelling. Weymann’s journey feels both personal and open-ended, allowing room for interpretation. The photography is strong, and the overall structure works well. The additional booklet with 24 tips is a great.

This book has a quiet charm. The photographs capture fleeting moments and subtle humor, making you feel like you’re on the journey with Weymann. I especially enjoyed the letter at the end—it adds a personal touch and gives insight into the thought process behind the project. The booklet of photography tips is both useful and entertaining. A nice combination of visual storytelling and reflection.

An interesting concept executed well. Weymann’s work balances curiosity, nostalgia, and a bit of irony. Some of the images are particularly striking, while others feel more like snapshots, but together they create a compelling narrative. The photography tips booklet was a fun extra, offering insights both serious and humorous. A book worth exploring for those interested in storytelling through photography.

This is a photobook that makes you think. Weymann plays with the idea of searching for something that might not even exist as we imagine it. It’s a book that lingers in your mind after you put it down.
