A BITE OUT OF OUR PINK WORLD www.pinkinourlives.com
Hans Fahrmeyer is an acclaimed photographer of male and female portraits combining both technical skill and artistic expression. He has published three books, created a large portfolio of arresting portraits, and has been widely shown in many international publications. “Water Moves”, as depicted in the preview sample below, is an illuminating dance of beautiful male images married with mirrors, water, sensuality, and balance. There’s a blend of powerful imagery with technical insight. The images become forceful yet arresting. He has produced a collection that mixes the casualness of the snapshot with the artistry of classical photographer. His subjects capture the eye for their immediacy, beauty, and movement.
Years of taking photographs of Fitness Models for the American magazine “Men’s Workout” have developed Hans Fahrmeyer‘s interest in the human body as a sculptural form. The sensual twists of Fahrmeyer’s subjects can be as dramatically accented with light and shade as they are enhanced by regular physical training. “Body sculpture becomes for me a feeling that I create with light, in the same way that an artist uses his brush,” says the largely self-taught photographer.
After travelling throughout Europe and Asia, German-born Fahrmeyer settled in New York in 1984 and has since produced work that has appeared in numerous magazines including Time, Newsweek, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Madame and Connoisseur. Now his obsession with documenting the beauty of male and female nudes is presented in the book “Between Men And Women”. His two other books (“Colors of Men” and “Between Men”) reflect his stylization. But the new images in “Water Moves” are even more lively and stronger than the earlier ones. The images are a timeless provocation as Hans demonstrates the gravity of his models into an art form. His use of beautiful, muscled men weaves with the reflective properties of water to create memorable masterpieces.
Hans was born in Bochum, Germany, where he developed his professional and artistic skills. After leaving Germany, he worked in Paris, Cannes, and London before immigrating to the USA in 1979. After establishing a studio in the West Village of NYC, Hans concentrated on portraits for private clients, agencies, and the performing arts. With a creative inspiration devoted to presenting the human body as sculpture, he has created his own unique look utilizing black & white, color and digital photography. He has shot more than 5,000 subjects in his career.
