Entretien avec Manfred Baumann
Manfred Baumann est un photographe d’origine autrichienne. Il travaille principalement le nu artistique, le voyage et le portrait pour la publicité et la presse magazine.
J’ai eu l’occasion de le contacter pour lui poser quelques questions sur son travail et on peut dire qu’il n’a pas le temps de s’ennuyer.
Antony Barroux : How did you get started with photography and what inspired you to follow the path you are on now?
Manfred Baumann : At the age of 10 years I got my first camera (Praktika) from my grandfather. He was a photographer in the 2nd World War. At the age of 20 I decided to become a professionnal photographer.

AB : What do you enjoy about your job? Do you have a favourite subject to photograph?
MB : I love it to do something which is lots of fun. I had so much luck to earn my money with my most favourite hobby. I get to know many interesting people, this is one of the most exciting thing about being a photographer.
Actually I have three themes which I present in my exhibitions and in my books.
Fine Nude Art photography
Travelphotography
Celebrities - I already portrayed stars like Sylvester Stallone, Paul Anka, John Malkovich, Lionel Richie and many more.
