Knop's background is in high fashion and commercial photography. His career began with renowned German fashion photographer Charlotte March, whose groundbreaking images blurred the lines between commercial and fine art photography.
Knop moved to New York, and in 1983 became first assistant to Henry Wolf, trend setting art director for Esquire, Harper's Bazaar and Show Magazines during the 60's. Knop worked closely with Wolf in his Manhattan studio, creating images for high fashion as well as distinctive advertising for major clients.
Over the years, Knop has developed a unique working process. His subjects are not professional models, and his sessions are a collaborative process between photographer and subject. The final image evolves organically as the subject relates to the photographer and the camera. Knop's lighting is dramatic; he juxtaposes architectural and sculptural elements with the fluid form of women, creating surprising images that seem to reveal changing elements as they are viewed. He utilizes line, texture, shadow and light in a way that is both abstract and sensual.
Knop has had exhibitions in Germany, France and New York, and his work has been featured in many magazines and photographic journals

Guenter Knop
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
Guenter Knop (born June 1954, in Bremen, Germany) is a photographer known for black and white nudes of real women.
Knop began his career working in the studio of German fashion and advertising photographer Charlotte March in the late 1970s. He later worked as first assistant to Henry Wolf, art director for Esquire, Harper's Bazaar and Show magazines. He worked with Wolf for ten years on high fashion, TV, and print advertising for major clients in the eighties and nineties before opening a studio in Chelsea, Manhattan, United States. His pictures incorporate dramatic lighting and customized sets built from found materials and inspired by Bauhaus, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco designs. A unique feature of Knop’s work is his exclusive use of real women who are hand-picked from the streets of New York.
