Extraordinary works by glamour photographer Brigitte Niedermeier
Photographer Brigitte Niedermair works with world-famous glossy magazines and fashion houses. Her regular clients include Dior, Louis Vuitton, Kenzo and Celine. The artist works in various genres and, in addition to fashion photography, is known as the author of remarkable portraits and still lifes. Her photographs amaze with their extraordinary approach to choosing locations, unusual angles and the use of unusual surroundings. (Caution! Nudity).
Brigitte Niedermeier says about her work:
It seems she succeeded – the photographer is one of the most sought-after masters of our time.
Niedermeier's work is multifaceted, but her fame among the masses is brought to her by her portraits of women. In them, models pose with pig heads, pieces of meat, chicken and seafood from nearby butcher shops and markets. Sea urchins, oysters and hams in Brigitte's pictures are next to underwear from Louis Vuitton and coats from Kenzo.
When shooting, the photographer usually uses a wide-angle camera and complex lighting. Niedermayer carefully constructs the frame, spending many hours preparing. She does not accept compromises and changes the composition until she achieves the intended effect.
Brigitte Niedermayer was born in 1971 in Merano, northern Italy. There she graduated from high school and received her first diploma as a professional photographer. Then there was work and study in Milan and Miami. Niedermayer first made a name for herself in New York and Los Angeles, working as an advertising director and photographer.
But after many years of living in the USA, the woman decided to return to her native Italy, to her native Merano. The photographer says about her decision, which surprised many:
Bridget travels a lot, but always returns home, where her inspiration lives.
Photographer Guy Bourdin is another master of fashion photography, using unusual solutions and strange images in his work.
