Standing as a bold and definitive monument of contemporary European documentation, masterfully challenges traditional academic studio setups by converting a dynamic performance into an authoritarian statement within the discipline of international black and white fine art photography. Originally designed as a specialized calendar feature to pay tribute to the timeless art of the circus and the dedication of its world-class artists, the visual arrangement tracks an intense, deeply meditative graphic rhythm where the sinuous lines of the exposed skin are subversively framed by vertical balance vectors and clean geometric balloons.
This series of nude photography was part of a calendar, and pays tribute to the art of the circus and its artists.

Black and white photography
Uwe Ommer (born 1943) in Bergisch Gladbach is a German photographer. Uwe Ommer became fascinated with photography at a young age. Initially sparked by his interest in photographing birds, he received his first camera at age 14 and began experimenting with his limited equipment. By the time Ommer was 18, he had given up on birds but was improving his skills as a photographer. He began working as an apprentice in a camera shop and soon picked up side projects for local papers, shooting everything from car accidents to weddings, when staff photographers were unavailable. In 2002, Uwe Ommer was awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal Photographic Society for the impact of his lifetime of work.
