THE EROTICISM OF HORST KISTNER
Horst Kistner, born in 1969 in Würzburg, Germany, worked as an advertising photographer for 22 years for prestigious companies such as GU, Bertelsmann, and Time Life in London. In 2010, he decided to leave his commercial photography career to fully dedicate himself to photography as a form of artistic expression, turning it into one of his greatest passions.
Kistner stands out as a master of German photographic technique and is considered an old-school light shaper. The chiaroscuro in his compositions bears a deep connection to classical painting and is inspired by 1950s American cinema, particularly the works of Alfred Hitchcock.
Kistner's photographic work is both sensual and melancholic, with various elements, along with his masterful use of light, transforming his images into true visual poems.
