Being an outstanding photographer with a superlative skill-set is a given at the top levels of today’s competitive world of image-makers. But to make a campaign truly shine from concept to completion—and do it authentically from a female POV—is another point of distinction that sets Dorit Thies apart.

Her latest cover for Elle magazine featuring Maye Musk is a perfect example, where she created a compelling visual narrative with intimate close-ups and energetic and architecturally futuristic imagery that is equal parts tribute and memorable storytelling of a fashion icon. For her Amazing magazine cover story image of Kate Mara, Dorit captured the actress in Japanese haute couture, zoomed-in on a black and white studio wall.

These are but a few examples from Dorit’s extensive client list that includes global fashion and beauty brands, including Estée Lauder, Elle, Glamglow, Sephora, New Beauty Magazine and Glamour Magazine among others.

Her photos have also been displayed in galleries across the globe. Whether it’s a quiet studio space or on a futuristic location, Dorit prides herself on elevating people and brands with an empowering vision, inspiring her subjects to shine with confidence and exceeding clients’ expectations.

Internationally published photographer Dorit Thies, born and raised in Germany, is known for her highly styled and carefully produced iconic images in the beauty, hair and wellness industries, has expanded her repertoire. 

 "All things beauty is what I do", she says, "like most of us I had a lot of extra time during the pandemic and I was lucky taking on new opportunities, creating high-end fashion editorials at my favourite indoor and outdoor studio spaces in Los Angeles, while producing authentic lighting scenarios with my team of experts.”

Recently she was photographing a cover story with actress Kate Mara for Amazing Magazine, soon to be seen in the upcoming 2020 Fall/Winter issue.

APA (American Photographic Artists) 2020 Awards presented her the number one prize in the category Fashion/Beauty with one of her latest floral beauty images this past summer.

Some of her recent clients include Sephora, GLAMGLOW, Estee Lauder, Elle International, L’Officiel Magazine, Marie Claire, Glamour Magazine and Amazing Magazine.
