Cathleen Naundorf has worked extensively in both travel and reportage photography. After meeting Horst P. Horst in 1994, she decided to devote herself solely to photography and has published several books as well as photographed for various fashion houses such as Christian Lacroix, John Galliano, Valentino, Christian Dior and Jean-Paul Gaultier. Through her innovative use of polaroid film she creates unique, collage-like works of art which transcend the fashion world; they have atmosphere and class with the staying-power similar to iconic Hollywood imagery. Her work is currently being shown at the Museen der Stadt Kornwestheim through January 2011. - A fine tonal print in excellent condition.
