Created in the sun-drenched, idyllic landscapes of the Pacific and Southeast Asia, Asian Ladies II (1999) by German photographer Uwe Ommer is a striking fine art archival pigment photograph. Within the romantic framework of his Asian Ladies project, Ommer frames a medium-full shot of a model wearing a woven conical hat, leaning intimately against a weathered tropical tree trunk. The image balances organic textures with human grace, echoing the exotic allure that famously inspired Gauguin and Nerval. With crisp clarity and rich tonal balance, Ommer investigates themes of sensuality, myth, and natural harmony. Printed as an Archival Pigment Print in an exclusive limited edition of 5 copies, measuring 40 x 60 cm (15.74 x 23.62 in.), this work is a pristine addition for fine art photography enthusiasts.
The Asian Ladies of this volume were photographed in some of the most beautiful places on earth, the tropical regions of the Philippines, Thailand and the South Sea Islands, the idyllic beaches of Tahiti and Fiji. Locations that have inspired artists as diverse as Gauguin and Nerval to produce their finest works. Ommer examines the implicit sexuality of those poetic landscapes, and with the clarity of his sumptuous photographs has created images of yearning and mystery. A journey into myth and sensuality from which it may be difficult to return.

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.
