Arty-Fact: Nude art photography has long been a source of intrigue and inspiration for many. Its origins are believed to date back to the early 19th century when photographers took pictures of nude models in more than scientific settings. Over the years, this type of art has evolved into an increasingly sophisticated and varied form.

Nude photography captures moments of beauty, intimacy, vulnerability and drama in ways beyond any other artistic medium. It captivates viewers with its raw beauty and power.

Enter celebrity and fashion photographer Markus Klinko. Markus’ body of work extends beyond the fashion world and includes projects focused on nude photography. His works are characterised by bold colours, unique angles and creative lighting to capture various moods and emotions. His photographs provide an intimate look into the beauty of the human body, redefining traditional boundaries in the art world.

From a burlesque dancer to an adult film star, Markus has captured celebrities and models at their most powerful – exposed and uncensored.

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”.
