Artistic Nudes
People in general, but above all their stories and cultures, fascinate and interest me. It is always very easy for me to get involved with my counterpart in different situations. This keeps opening many doors to worlds that were previously unfamiliar to me. So I've been a circus photographer for many years and now and then also internationally as an expert guest or jury member. The great and wonderful work of the artists and their body control impress me and I am very happy that my picture ideas can always be implemented in cooperation with them.
I have been dealing with aesthetic nude photography for a long time and so the series Artistic Nudes was created in my studio in the last few months. The darkness in my nude photos creates space for the view of the beautiful, well-trained bodies, whose nudity recedes somewhat into the background. The pictures are a homage to my artist friends in the circus, who, despite the lack of work opportunities due to Corona, continue to train daily in the hope that they will soon be able to inspire us again in a ring.
Barbara Huwiler
As the daughter of a passionate photographer, I grew up with pictures and the smell of an in-house photo lab. For my part, for many years I mainly photographed for documentary purposes and was therefore responsible for the souvenir albums of my extended family. During later trips to countries and areas far from touristy, such as the South Caucasus or Haïti, I increasingly felt the urge to capture my impressions and encounters in photographs and to make the experiences accessible to others with the pictures. To this day, street and travel photography is one of my great passions.
