Tim Petersen - Muma Gallery

Vita

Tim Petersen‘s first encounter with photography was in his father‘s studio, which opened in the 1970s during a crucial time for the emerging German photography industry. Petersen opened his own studio in Hamburg at the age of 22 and quickly became fascinated by the New York subculture scene.

At the time, provocative and underground fashion magazines such as “Interview”, “Details” and “Arude” considered style as a statement - an attempt to express the feeling of a generation. After moving to New York, Petersen immersed himself deeply in this editorial scene, where he developed his unique artistic style.

His background as a fashion photographer influences his images, which showcase the classic golden ratio while telling stories and raising questions that go beyond the photograph itself.

Petersen had his first solo exhibition in 1996, which marked the start of a successful career in photography, working for top fashion magazines such as Vogue and Vanity Fair and fashion houses. Over the years, he continued to develop independent passion projects, which gained momentum in recent years and resulted in a series of solo exhibitions.

In 2022, one of his works became part of the prestigious “Kelterborn Collection”.
