Dirk Bader

Munich - Fashion & Beauty Photographers

From an early age, Dirk Bader immersed himself in the pages of Vogue, captivated by the world he discovered within. The desire to create and be part of it led him to study design. After graduating as a communication designer, he focused on photography, learning from the best.

He trained alongside legendary photographer David LaChapelle for nearly three years, as well as with Peter Lindbergh, Albert Watson, and Patrick Demarchelier, before launching his own career. His passion for beautiful light and bold colours was shaped during those formative years.

Dirk’s work has been published in magazines and has attracted clients from around the world. He is a five-time ADC Annual Award winner and was awarded Gold at the Prix de la Photographie, Paris. With his personal work, he held his first art show at the Leica Gallery Salzburg.
