Kurt Bauer

A self-taught photographer, Kurt Bauer is something of a romantic with a sharp eye for detail. His images reflect this interplay between the clarity of the expression and the indefinable aesthetic experience that arrives as quickly as it departs. Born and based in Austria, Bauer works with clients to tell a visual story representing identity playing with the aliveness of the moment. The moment keeps the identity fresh and identity gives the moment meaning.
