Arty-Fact: Behind these doors are the stories of lovers past, where happiness become sadness, and warmth is merely a memory.

Here broken spirits roam in the hopeless abyss of heartache, knowing nothing of time and space.

If you dare to enter you will be lost forever in a realm between shadow and substance.

Markus Klinko

Markus Klinko is an award-winning international fashion/celebrity photographer and director who has worked with many of today’s most iconic film, music, and fashion stars.

Markus has photographed the likes of Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, David Bowie, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Anne Hathaway, Kate Winslet, Will Smith, Eva Mendes, Kim Kardashian, Naomi Campbell and Iman.

His editorial clients include Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar, and Interview magazine. Brands such as Lancôme, L’Oréal Paris, Nike, Hugo Boss, Anna Sui, Pepsi, Skyy Vodka, and Remy Martin have hired Markus to create advertising campaigns.

Born in Switzerland of French, Italian, Jewish, and Hungarian descent, Markus spent his early years training to become a classical harp soloist. He studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris.

Later, Markus signed an exclusive recording contract with EMI Classics and a management contract with Columbia Artists Management. He received the Grand Prix de Disque for his recording of French harp music with the orchestra of the Paris Opera Bastille. Markus also performed in recitals and as a featured soloist with symphony orchestras around the world. He was also regularly featured in Vogue Italia, Vanity Fair, GQ, The New York Times, Madame Figaro, Stereo Review and Ongaku no Tomo.

After a hand injury, Markus became a fashion photographer and retired from his international concert and recording career.

Isabella Blow discovered Markus’ work at the London Sunday Times and commissioned cover stories from the emerging photographer. Around the same time, Ingrid Sischy at Interview magazine hired Markus for various shoots. Iman and David Bowie followed, giving the up and coming photographer a chance to photograph them for their respective book (I am Iman) and album covers (Heathen).

From there, he created some of the most iconic album covers of our time, including Beyonce’s “Dangerously in Love” and Mariah Carey’s “The Emancipation of Mimi”.
