Aperture's second volume on the atmospheric work of Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf.  Olaf is known for his stylized, high-coloured images that capture figures in a filmic, often haunting, setting. The book follows on from an earlier volume pubished in 2008 and showcases Olaf's work created since then. Included are rich reproductions of his best work, including a series from the 'Keyholes' video installation and images taken on location in Berlin.
