On Form

by Andrew Kaiser

Often regarded as one of the most talented black-and-white photographers in the world, Andreas Bitesnich proves that he has an acute eye for color in On Form. The resulting work is still a venerable celebration of the human form with the added pleasure of a new and nearly euphoric color pallet.

In a further departure from Bitesnich’s usual style, On Form is composed entirely of studio nudes and he often treats the body in a monumental type fashion. Many of the models seem to be molded directly from clay; shaped and perfected by the studio lights Andreas manipulates with the utmost precision.

There is as much variety in the lighting patterns employed by Bitesnich as there is in his choices of models. Professional sitters mix perfectly with so called everyday individuals (including a transsexual and an amputee) rounding out what could have been a repetitive collection.
