Description
This striking photograph captures a moment of raw elegance and natural serenity. A woman stands enveloped in a curtain of falling rain. She wears a traditional conical hat that shields her gaze while framing a face of timeless composure. The composition balances the organic chaos of the weather with the stillness of the subject. Her damp hair clings to her skin, adding a tactile dimension to the image.
The artist utilizes his extensive experience in fashion and documentary photography to elevate this portrait. There is a seamless fusion of advertising precision and ethnographic curiosity. The subdued palette emphasizes the earthy tones of the draped fabric and the lush greenery in the background. Light filters through the raindrops, creating a shimmering veil that adds depth to the frame.
This artwork explores the intersection of cultural identity and human vulnerability. The direct gaze of the model establishes an intimate connection with the viewer. It is a study of poise amidst the elements. Every detail, from the texture of the straw hat to the glistening skin, reflects a mastery of light and timing. The image remains a powerful testament to the universal beauty found in the quietude of the natural world.
The Asian Ladies of this volume were photographed in some of the most beautiful places on earth, the tropical regions of the Philippines, Thailand and the South Sea Islands, the idyllic beaches of Tahiti and Fiji. Locations that have inspired artists as diverse as Gauguin and Nerval to produce their finest works. Ommer examines the implicit sexuality of those poetic landscapes, and with the clarity of his sumptuous photographs has created images of yearning and mystery. A journey into myth and sensuality from which it may be difficult to return. The diversity of German photographer Uwe Ommer, who frequently works with aesthetic nudes, makes his art a perfect gift for all nude devotees. In Ommer's series you can find adventure, vintage erotica, acrobats, models interacting with Icelandic landscapes and many other fascinating shots.
From the Asian ladies series. Archival Pigment print. Edition of 5.
Presentation
Born in Bergisch-Gladbach, Germany, Uwe Ommer became fascinated with photography at a young age. Initially sparked by his interest in photographing birds, he received his first camera at age 14 and began experimenting with his limited equipment. By the time Ommer was 18, he had given up on birds, but was improving his skills as a photographer. He began working as an apprentice in a camera shop and soon picked up side projects for local papers, shooting everything from car accidents to weddings, when staff photographers were unavailable.
In 1962, Ommer was awarded the first Deutscher Jugend Photo Preis (German Youth Photo Prize) at Photokina 1962 for his photograph of children playing soccer. The following year, he left for Paris (for only one year to learn French, he insisted) and began working as an assistant to advertising photographer Jean Pierre Ronzel. While Ommer did perfect his French, he never did leave Paris.
In 1966 he opened his own photography studio, primarily shooting fashion and advertising photos for small women's magazines. Quickly gaining respect for his work in Paris, Ommer began showing in local galleries and eventually published his first book.
In 1995, Ommer drastically changed gears and decided to embark on a project unlike anything he had ever done before – a project unlike anything anyone had ever done before. As a personal challenge, he set out the following year to document all types of families on every continent at the turn of the millennium. With a Landrover, Rolleiflex camera, portable studio, one assistant, many maps, many guidebooks Ommer visited 130 countries in the following four years, interviewing and photographing over 1000 families. Taschen published the catalog titled “1000 Families" in 2000 when the photographs were first exhibited to the public in Cologne, Germany in September at Photokina 2000. Since then, the exhibition has toured the world and has received praise for the scope and beauty of the photographs, and their simple message of commonality.
In 2002, Uwe Ommer was awarded an Honorary Fellowship to the Royal Photographic Society for the impact of his lifetime of work.
