Esther Haase: Esther's World

About

"Esther's pictures celebrate the joy of being, passion, the self-confident play with sexuality, the escape from the rigid corset of everyday life...Her female characters are self-confident and sovereign, like Esther herself they are full of energy and emotion, always in a state of dynamism." - F.C. Gundlach

Esther Haase is a German born photographer who brings her former training in dance and knowledge of performance to the magical, decadent and fluid world she creates with her camera. Working for international fashion publications and some of the most revered fashion brands Haase creates a narrative spinning a seductive visual story for all to participate in. Shooting on the Leica S she conjures moments that satisfy the demands of a spectacular brief but also satisfy the viewer emotionally - drawing us to the characters and allowing us, for a fleeting moment, to inhabit Esther's World.

Leica Gallery London is proud to present the artist's first solo show, curated by Sebastian Lux from the F.C. Gundlach Foundation. 

The exhibition is composed of colour and black & white images carefully selected from her career of almost three decades.

Works in the exhibition are available for purchase.
