Dirk Bader

Munich

From an early age Dirk immersed himself in the pages of Vogue, amazed by the world he found in there. The wish to create and be a part of it led him to study design.

After graduating as a communication designer he focused on photography learning from the best. At first as assistant of legendary photographer David LaChapelle for nearly three years before working alongside Peter Lindbergh, Albert Watson and Patrick Demarchelier among others. After that Dirk launched his own career. 

He believes in approaching each project individually, finding the visual language it needs to speak to its audience while still letting his own artistic DNA shine through. This reflects in the wide range of clients he has attracted around the world.

His work has been published in magazines like Vogue (India, Arabia, Mexico), Harper's Bazaar, Elle, and L'Officiel and his commercial clients include Grey, Saatchi & Saatchi, Leo Burnett, Procter&Gamble, Braun, Gillette,  Pantene Pro V, Astor, Head & Shoulders, Oral-B, and Ferrari.
