Photographer Cathleen Naundorf creates fashion photos with a dream-like atmospheres containing an elegant and Old World aesthetic, inspired by key influence and mentor, German fashion photographer Horst P. Horst with whom she shares a hometown. She exclusively works on large format cameras (4×5″ and 8×10″) and polaroid film which she processes as hand-made silver gelatine prints. The seven couture houses Chanel, Christian Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, Chrisitan Lacroix, Elie Saab, Valentino and Philip Treacy were so impressed they let the French/German photographer take an exclusive dive into their archives. The result is the exhibition ‘Haute Couture, The Polaroids of Cathleen Naundorf’ and is on show in the L.A. gallery Fahey/Klein from September 4th until October 11th.
