Karsten Beumler

Karsten Beumler is a photographer from Germany. “For several years Karsten Beumler has been working as a freelance photographer in Niestetal, Hesse. In addition to advertising and press assignments, he devotes himself primarily to nude photography. In the free, artistic work with the female body, he has increasingly moved to the black and white photography. The play with contrasts, the painting of light in the hollows and bulges of the body turn his photos into sculptural landscape paintings. In his work, Beumler prefers the amateur model, whose aesthetic values are to be discovered. Intensive conversations are held before the shoots, because the intimate atmosphere between photographer and model is a prerequisite for his intimate and lyrical snapshots. Each model inspires him to create new portrayals. Like a painter, he arranges the details, rolls skin in sand and foam or tints parts of his images in bold colors.”
