Peter Wattendorff
Fashion photographers
Peter Wattendorff has already created quite a stir during his design studies with his series 'German Women', exhibiting in Havana and Miami, among other places.
For his fashion and lingerie customers he refreshed himself with the imperfect charm of Polaroid and analogue b/w photography. He stages models that are as casually engaged with themselves; sensual, almost erotic moments that give the viewer's imagination space.
