Photo by Michael Wirth, from the collection “Shanghai.”
.
Michael Wirth made his reputation as a beauty photographer, shooting for clients like Clairol, L’Oreal, Clarins Paris, and Nivea. But his passion for his art is more than skin deep. With “Shanghai,” he returns to what he describes as the basics of photography, immersing himself in a place and reporting on it with his camera.
In the introduction to the portfolio below, Michael says he approached this work with the idea of shooting “not for beauty but for poetry.” But, as you will see, the beauty is there too.
