“Astrid Ackermann has established a reputation as a leading photographer in the field of classical music.
Her portraits of renowned conductors such as NN, NN and NN have found resonance in print and online publications worldwide. She is a photographer of choice for the Broadcastig Company of the Bavarian Radio, and many leading composers of contemporary music have found themselves in front of her camera.
Her focus is one of liveliness and authenticity, without a need artificially to pose the artist. The results are not conventional, but neither are they unconventional. Her curiosity and courage are borne out in each image.
Astrid Ackermann was born in Miltenberg am Main in 1969 and grew up in this historic Frankonian town full of timbered buildings and ancient churches. At the outset, music played almost as important a role in her artistic career as photography. She was given an old SLR during her first semester at Dr. Hochs Konservatorium Frankfurt, where she studied piano with Prof. Angelika Nebel. Her final two years as student were spent at the “Staatslehranstalt für Fotografie, München”, where she concentrated on portrait photography.
She lives with her family in Munich and enjoys the luxury of an atelier near Murnau, that little village well known from scenes painted by members of the Blaue Reiter group early in the twentieth century. As for technique and lighting, she takes what the day gives her, with the intention of focussing on the person and what their countenance might tell us. Her preferred equipment is a Leica M6, a Hasselblad, and various Canon DSLRs.”
