PHILOSOPHY: Portraits of exceptional human beings have been produced for centuries. Ever since the 15th century, artists serving aristocratic patrons across Europe have created works of art that now adorn the world’s most eminent galleries. Since photography superseded painting at the end of the 19th century as the ideal medium for reconstructing reality, photographs have shaped the image we have of people. Think of film stars like Greta Garbo, politicians like J.F. Kennedy or the British Royals – they live on in our collective memory because of staged photographs. And these pictures now change hands on the art market for large sums of money. What started life as private portraits change, over generations, into sought after collector’s items. MASTER PHOTOGRAPHERS pledge to continue the tradition of first-class portrait photography into the 21st century: based on meeting the concrete wishes our clients have. Exclusively – and entirely individually.
