ABOUT:
Christian Angerer has been in the media business since 1985. His passion is portrait and fashion photography, mainly in black and white. With his companies he works for national and international clients. He has received numerous awards for his work on the international stage, including ADC and Cannes Lions.
For Christian, the true beauty in women and men is genuineness and authenticity. It is the fine character traits such as mystery, intimacy, movements, moments as well as the emotions and honesty. That’s what Christian try to find out and work out together with the person he is photographing. Christian is convinced there is something special in almost every person, a secret.
People, characters and souls are different and not linear. They move like rivers and that’s what you should get involved with and capture the story that this other person allows you to tell.
The set is a stage – whether built or natural – and it is here that the actor must feel comfortable and be able to come out of his shell. Every shoot is based on a concept. It is classic storytelling.
In a feature film, thousands of individual images tell a story. And that is the task. A photograph has to be just like a movie and be able to tell a story in just one (1) frame. This is sometimes much more difficult.
Christian doesn’t use Photoshop for post production. He edit almost all images with light and shadow. For him, the true beauty in women and men is genuineness and authenticity. It is the fine character traits such as mystery, intimacy, movements, moments as well as the emotions and honesty. That’s what he try to find out and work out together with the person he is photographing. And there is something special in almost every person, a secret.
Why?
A lot of Instagram pictures today are manipulated via Face App and Co, slick and alienated, a real identity theft. There is an urge to achieve absolute perfection, which cannot be maintained in real life and thus frustrates many people and makes them ill. Personally, Christian would also find it boring and quite pretentious to rob women and men of their identity in hours of Photoshop beauty surgery.
