About the photographer and the exhibition

Wolf Kettler photographs people. He creates bespoke portraiture for private, business and editorial clients.

Wolf’s work has been published and exhibited internationally. He has been interviewed, among others, by BBC Radio and the British Journal of Photography. Wolf was a panellist on “The Story of Eros”. His client list includes patrons from three continents.

Wolf Kettler is proud to use PermaJet fine photographic papers

In his photographs of people, Wolf wants to deconstruct glamour and artificiality by exposing the natural beauty that comes from within. He rejects the type of photography, which relies on stale setups and cheesy poses and which creates glamorised faces retouched beyond recognition.

Wolf applies the same principles to his personal and commissioned work, thus blurring the borders between art and commerce and merging his activities into one “gesamt”-performance.

The exhibition at the Sashay Gallery at The Healthy Life Company features photographs from the cycle “Look, Touch” and recent personal and commissioned work by Wolf Kettler.

“Look, Touch” confronts the human body with natural or human-made surfaces and investigates (gender) stereotypes, such as “female = round = soft”, etc.

Recent work includes landscape and nature photographs along with three images from the “Big Skies” series and examples of recent commissioned portraiture work.

The Healthy Life Company in the historic centre of Devizes is the town’s premier health food shop. The Sashay Gallery was opened in May 2010.
