THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF YVES KORTUMYves Kortum, a photographer born in Luxembourg in 1969, began his career in 1987 and established himself as an independent fashion photographer in 1993. His inspiration draws heavily from theater and cinema, especially classic films from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, giving his images a distinctive narrative quality from that era.
Kortum firmly believes that models must feel and understand the photographer’s vision, creating a connection that enhances the final outcome. He has a deep passion for portraiture, striving to reveal the essence of his subjects’ character in each image, where every wrinkle tells a story and reflects a lifetime of experiences.
