Belonging to the iconic 1982 Mintex Calendar series, Mintex Calendar 1982: March by Uwe Ommer captures the playful, high-energy pin-up aesthetic of the early 1980s. Set outdoors against a vibrant, saturated blue sky, the shot features a model wearing red sunglasses posing dynamically with an American-flag-patterned inflatable aircraft. Driven by dramatic sunlight and high-contrast saturation, Ommer elevates commercial imagery into fine art pop photography. Offered as a museum-grade archival pigment print measuring 50 x 70 cm (19.68 x 27.65 in) in an edition of only 5, this photograph brings nostalgic glamour and bold color to any modern art collection.
Uwe Ommer’s photographic series for the 1982 Mintex Calendar is characterized by a vibrant fusion of 1980s pin-up aesthetics, high-fashion style, and classic cars set against Las Vegas landscapes. The images stand out for their cinematic approach, saturated colors, dramatic lighting, and distinctive use of wet textures to enhance the work's dynamism and sensuality.

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.
