Klaus Redenbacher Photography

German, b. 1935
The photographer Klaus Redenbacher, originally from Erlangen, made a significant impact on portrait photography. He learned the craft early on from his grandfather and father. As a teenager, he sold his first images to the Erlanger Tagesblatt and as postcard motifs. After completing his training in Nuremberg, he worked as a fashion photographer in Stuttgart, where he passed his master craftsman’s examination in 1960. A trip to Istanbul that same year earned him his first awards. His archive of around 100,000 negatives—mainly portraits, but also including reportages, fashion, and industrial photography—is considered an important testament to 20th-century analog photography.
