Kristian Schuller
\n<\/b>The Romanian-born master of colours started his work in the fields of fashion and photography already in his early youth in Germany. At first he modeled for his own pictures, but at the latest when he became a student of Vivienne Westwood\u2019s (Fashion Design) and F.C. Gundlach\u2019s (Photography) his great talent became apparent to others.<\/p>\n
His work for magazines like Vogue or Harper\u2019s Bazaar and for companies such as Swatch, BMW or Nike have made him famous on the scene. Top models and actresses like Penelope Cruz (the latter for the Campari Calendar 2013) have been in front of his camera. He does not consider himself particularly famous, as he revealed in an interview for the \u201cS\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung\u201d:\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI have always tried to be a proper photographer. I am not a star just because I have photographed one or two celebrities. Peter Lindbergh or Annie Leibowitz, they are real stars.\u201d<\/p>\n
If, however, the name Kristian Schuller does ring a bell, it may have something to do with Heidi Klum. His work for the casting show \u201cGermany\u2019s Next Top Model\u201d finally offered him the chance to realize a high class book project: \u201c90 Tage. Ein Traum\u201d. The gorgeous locations, the models of the future, and Schuller\u2019s meticulously designed scenes, that seem like a mixture of circus and Fellini\u2019s films, are just a feast for the eyes.\u00a0 This book, that is highly recommended even to critics of the show, has deservedly won the silver medal of the \u201cDeutscher Fotobuchpreis 2011\u201d.<\/p>\n
Schuller\u2019s pictures at Atelier Jungwirth show a world of colourful contrasts, where even black and white images can have a remarkably opulent effect. The common ground between Schuller\u2019s fashion- and advertising photography probably lies in the imagery created by the artist, brimming with power and joy for life and the extraordinary embodiment of radiant femininity, which are immediately imprinted on the spectator\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n
One thing is certain: This exhibition at Atelier Jungwirth will be a fascinating experience, even for people who have seen and experienced a lot. Or: Rock\u2019n Roll for the eyes.<\/p>\n
