This stunning black and white Photography shows Veruschka, who is often regarded as the first German supermodel. She presents herself sitting at a table in a white shirt and tights. Her left hand is buried in her long messy hair, while her right hand, bejewelled with heavy rings, is holding a burning cigarette. She is not looking at the viewer but rather seems to be talking to another person. The Cups and glasses on the table in front of her also give the impression that the Photography is not staged, which creates a informal and intimate atmosphere.
The saturated colours of the broiling desert against the piercing blue of the clear sky or the cool palette of an intimate black-and-white portrait; Michel Comte can do it all. The Swiss star photographer has made his mark on fashion and celebrity photography ever since his first international advertising campaign for Karl Lagerfeld in 1979. Comte’s oeuvre truly is the work of an homme modern – capturing the most celebrated figures of the century from boxers to supermodels. However, despite the famous figures in front of this lens, Comte’s work is always about the human. His portraits, nudes, or fashion campaigns always come especially close to his subjects and create an intimate setting for the viewer.
