“It is photography itself that creates the illusion of innocence. Its ironies of frozen narrative lend to its subjects an apparent unawareness that they will change or die. It is the future they are innocent of. Fifty years on we look at them with the godly knowledge of how they turned out after all – who they married, the date of their death – with no thought for who will one day be holding photographs of us.”
Artist Petra Stadler was born 1964 in Essen,Germany. The fashion model turned photographer started out as a teenage trainee with the Werek sports agency in her native Germany. After being forced to cover a fatal plane crash Petra turned her back on Werek and a trip to the USA opened new doors for her to photograph major US TV celebrities.
Petra Stadler isn’t the first fashion model to carve out a career on the other side of the camera, but she might be the most successful. The Munich-based fashion, celebrity and lifestyle shooter, who started posing for brands like Benetton while a teenager, now numbers many of Germany’s most important magazines, entertainment companies and fashion houses among her photography clients.
