Mark Seliger

Flo Peters Gallery, Hamburg

Portaits

Mark Seliger is one of America´s most remarkable portrait photographers. Be it Julia Roberts, Johnny Depp, Jennifer Lopez, Lenny Kravitz ­ to name a few ­ Mark Seliger depicts these stars with an intensity and deepness that is hard to match. Time and again Mark Seliger succeeds in creating an individual photographic frame that allows him to capture the hidden facettes of the stars.

Thus, top-model Gtse'le Bundchen becomes a stunning Indian in her feathered headdress, the somewhat bizarre artistry of the singer Tom Waits becomes the reflection of his intangible personality, actor Philip Seymour Hoffman seems shy but intense, like Truman Capote, for whose brilliant representation ha won an Oscar this year.

Mark Seliger gained his reputation as outstanding photographer in the late 80s through his work for the magazine Rolling Stone, whose chief-photographer he later became. The native Texan, having studied Visual Arts in Houston, has produced many award-winning titles and features over 15 years. The music world and its interpreters became the basis of his artistic product.

For the last four years Seliger, who is under contract with Conde' Nast Publications, has photographed great personality-stories for Vanity Fair and G.Q.. His portfolio is a meeting place fort he big names of the American music, film and show-scenes: 50 Cent, Mick Jagger, P.Diddy, Iman, Sean Penn, David Bowie, Brad Pitt, Robert Wilson ­ they all, in addition to countless others, had their pictures taken by Mark Seliger, who apart from his work as a photographer also produces music-videos, and performs with his own band, "Rusty Truck".
