Pierre Winther is a world-renowned conceptualist, raconteur,
image-maker, and visionary. For over three decades, the Copenhagen-born
artist has pioneered the realms of photography and film. With his mind
deeply rooted in cinema, he composes each image impeccably, telling
entire narratives in a single moment. Timeless dramas unfold through
depictions of organized chaos presented in bold, saturated hues. Winther
uses lighting and composition to propel his subjects from the image's
surface--allowing them to live among made-up and sometimes hyper-real
worlds in ways that remain natural, human, and organic. And this happens
without the aid of digital technology, a feat almost unheard of in
photography today. It's clear that for Winther, strong concepts are what
drive his work, while the medium is almost incidental. For instance, his
most radical artistic treatments have been translated into award-winning
commissions for Hugo Boss, Nike, Diesel, and others. His ground breaking
editorial work includes spreads for "The Face," "i-D," "Rolling Stone,"
"Vibe," and "Vogue."
