We have already written about this photographer, but the fact is that each of his projects deserves a separate article, and without exception, all the works are perfect. This is Carsten Witte from Hamburg - one of the best photographers in the world, because rarely can anyone convey tenderness and eroticism in their works so amazingly. We wrote about his project "Diptych", now the time has come for a new perfection - the project " Psyche ”, In which gentle girls appear in the form of butterflies.
If we can say about someone's work that they are all, without exception, ideal, then most likely these are the works of Carsten Witte. It is pointless to list all his numerous projects, it is better to contact the galleries on one of his sites - they will say better than any words. However, the photo cycle “ Psyche ”Deserves special attention.
As you know, Psyche is an ancient Greek princess who was more beautiful even than Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. She personifies the soul, breath and usually appears as a butterfly - just one sentence, and the meaning of the name of this photo cycle is already clear. This is what it means to be a genius, without trying to jump over your head in terms of choosing a topic. What is he like butterfly's kiss?
Judging by these works, this is a very gentle kiss, although it is always different. Each work of the "Psyche" project amazes with the combination of darkness and different colors and the beauty of the models. Moreover, as in all of Karsten's works, these contain depth, eroticism, tenderness, but no vulgarity and no excesses - he knows exactly where beauty ends and consumer goods begin.
We have already written about him, but it would not be a sin to remember to refresh some of the facts of his autobiography. Born in Hamburg in 1964, already at the age of 3, when his mother took him somewhere, he eagerly absorbed all the beautiful around, stared at everything. Many years later, after graduating from the Bielefeld School of Photography and working as an assistant to many other photographers, in 1989 he opened his own studio. Since then, he has been implementing project after project, idea after idea, photographing beautiful women and at the moment remains one of the most original masters in this field. "I am always fascinated by the faces and the purity that is characteristic of truly beautiful" - this Carsten Witte describes their entire destiny.
Carsten Witte has several sites, but most of the information can be found on the official one. By the way, the next exhibition of the photographer, just within the framework of the project “ Psyche ”Will be held from February 21 to May 31, 2011. There are still a lot of opportunities to get on it, and maybe even communicate with the genius himself.
