Helmut Sagmeister

Helmut Sagmeister's photography is an impressive expression that emphasises the naturalness and aesthetics of the human body. With many years of experience as a photographer, including his knowledge of the black and white laboratory, he has the ability to reflect not only the outward appearance but also the inner beauty of those portrayed. Through his inviting manner, he creates a space where people can relate to their bodies in different ways. Many of his models describe this self-flirtation as a kind of therapy in which they recognise themselves as unique and beautiful. His way of working offers his subjects the opportunity to gain a new perspective on themselves, which often leads to profound and transformative experiences. His penchant for old master painting and classic black and white photography largely influences his painterly image processing. He seeks out extraordinary people and shows a particular interest in the passing of youth, while at the same time celebrating the beauty of age.
