« I don’t do sterile, formal pictures », Feurer describes his process of capturing that elusive moment.

Crucial to Feurer’s work is to capture a very particular moment where an emotion reveals itself in the movement of the model and the scene truly comes to life. Strong influences of his travels are evident in the inherent sense of adventure Feurer’s images convey, as well as the raw, expressive quality of his photographs.įeurer’s female figure is strong and ferocious, sensual and uninhibited, moving effortlessly, her expressions reflecting intensity and vigour. It was in Africa that Feurer discovered his exceptional sensibility for light and his love for the natural wonders of the continent. Instantly recognisable characteristics of Feurer’s iconic photographs are intense natural settings bathed in a contrasting play of light and shadow and a bold juxtaposition between layers of rich fabric and the female form, all rendered in lush, cinematic colours with minimal retouching, leading to a prolific body of work a world of authentic images, naturally lit and equally expressive, as they are alluring.įeurer’s time spent travelling across Africa for two years in the late 1960’s was a crucial catalyst of the visual aesthetic that has come to define his work. « Fashion has always fascinated me and I’ve always tried to understand the dream behind the images – and these photographs are kind of dream projections, you know? Of what one could be, of where one’s desires might lead you. » His genre-defining career spans fifty years from his famous shots of 1960’s ‘Swinging London’, the 1970’s Nova campaign and the revolutionary 1980’s KENZO campaigns, as well as numerous collaborations with the world’s most respected fashion publications including ELLE, VOGUE and NUMERO. Hans Feurer is considered one of the leading figures in fashion photography. Mead Carney and André Werther are proud to present ‘Exposure’, a retrospective of iconic works by legendary fashion photographer Hans Feurer.
