Klaus Kampert
He sent me a mail (how a lucky man I am !), I went on his site (of course !) and I told myself WOW!... A huge one. And I'm sure that Thorsten Jankowski will appreciate all the talent of Klaus Kampert, if he already doesn't know him what could be very surprising in regard of all their common points.
Here is a Master, self-taught !!, and I'm so happy to introduce him.
He's kind, you know how much it's the first quality I check.
He's inspired, creative, wonderfully directing his talented art models. And he masters the light, with a small preference for the B&W, and the composition with brio.
Just have a look and you'll understand why I stop here the list of all the qualities I see in his work.
Klaus Kampert has his signature, this personal touch that makes of him an Artist I'm very proud to welcome.
Welcome Klaus ! And a big thanks for your confidence.
Klaus Kampert, born in 1953, lives and works as a freelancer in Duesseldorf, Germany. As a photographer he is self-taught. After working for many well-known photographers in the advertising field, he established his own business in 1981 in Duesseldorf.
His main interest is people-photography focusing on beauty, portrait, nudes and dance.
He works for leading advertising agencies and companies but also indulges in artistic photography.
Many of his images, especially nudes and ballet-dancers have been printed in international publications and are very asked for among collectors.
An amazing palmares !
