F. C. Gundlach - Meister der Modefotografie

Directed by Eva Gerberding

Franz Christian Gundlach, known as F. C. Gundlach, influenced an entire generation of photographers, such as Andreas Mühe and Kristian Schuller. Wim Wenders interprets Gundlach as a "visionary of photography". For F. C. Gundlach, who was born in 1926 in Heinebach in northern Hesse, Paris marked the start of his career: he had his first exhibition there in 1951. He quickly rose to become a star photographer. He moved to Hamburg and made his mark on fashion photography with fashion spreads for women's magazines such as "Film und Frau" and "Brigitte".
