Michel Comte Nude Photography
Swiss, b. 1954
From humanitarian assignments in war-torn countries to photoshoots with some of the world’s most prominent people and brands, Michel Comte is a celebrated contemporary magazine and fashion photographer who has worked all over the globe.
Collaborating with the likes of Vogue Italia, l'Uomo Vogue, Vanity Fair and Interview didn’t happen instantly for Comte. Born and raised in Zurich, Switzerland, the photographer began his career in art restoration, working on pieces by Andy Warhol and Yves Klein until 1979, when he secured his first assignment from fashion industry legend Karl Lagerfeld for French luxury house Chloé. Later, Lagerfeld arranged for Comte to work with Chanel, and from there, the photographer built relationships with numerous brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Gianfranco Ferre, Ferrari, Hennessy, Hermès, Lancôme, Jaguar and more.
Comte worked on photoshoots with many celebrities and public figures such as Mike Tyson, Miles Davis, Sofia Coppola, Elijah Wood, Tina Turner and others.
While keeping busy with shoots, Comte also found time to set up his own humanitarian organization and established successful fundraising efforts with the International Red Cross that focused on supplying clean water to countries in need.
As a passionate mountain climber, Comte became intimately aware of global warming and has worked for decades to increase public awareness relating to climate change. Comte scaled mountains by air and foot to photograph the changes in ice caps — often returning to the same locations all over the world in order to document the disappearing ice.
Comte has exhibited internationally at institutions such as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, the Kunst Haus Wien in Austria, the Verona Centro Internazionale di Fotografia and Munich Pinakothek der Moderne.

A Nude Woman floating underwater. Her light skin stands out against the dark Water surrounding her. The reflection of her body on the water's surface appears like another person floating above her. Michel Comte is known for his rich, deep color palette, but Underwater photography is usually not a genre he works in, with this Series being the only example. This piece not only stands out with its ethereal beauty and peaceful atmosphere but also due to its uniqueness within the famous photographer's Oeuvre.
The saturated colors 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...

Iman is not only the wife of David Bowie but also a successful supermodel and actress. She studied political science in Egypt. This image created by Michel Comte depicts her from the side, capturing her independent and cool attitude. She is lying on her back, only wearing cow print over-knee boots attached to a belt. A cigarette is sticking between her lips as she is reaching between her legs with one hand. The majority of the image is a soft gradient of grey.
The piece is simple, inviting the viewer to step closer. The model's enticing profile offers details to explore. Her pose and the cigarette between her lips add a rebellious touch.
The saturated colors 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...
