EYESO Featured Artist: Frida Schütze

in photography •  6 years ago 

Frida Schütze was always fascinated by photography, ever since she was a little girl, watching her father taking pictures with his Exa 1a — an old camera made in GDR. Despite her love and curiosity towards it, Frida always thought photography was something you could only do after studying professionally. Luckily, she managed to overcome this mental barrier at the age of 27.

One day Frida received advice from a fellow photographer: she just needed a prime lens and Photoshop Lightroom — that’s it. That’s what she did, and she’s been doing ever since… from a technical point of view, of course. Starting with simple portraits of friends, she improved over time, and her photography evolved more towards Fine Art. The most important ingredients for a good picture for Frida are interesting faces, good lighting, and that little magical spark of coincidence.

“I want to show beauty in its natural and vulnerable form — no heavy makeup, no jewelry, no perfect Photoshop editing”, says Frida. She likes to combine it with arty elements, especially water photography in bath tubs (her most favorite way of portrait making). Sometimes her pictures can also have scenic backgrounds like architecture from the 30’s, or various abandoned locations, but the person that she’s taking pictures of is always the focus of Frida’s work.
