Artist Wolfgang Eichler
Wolfgang Eichler was born in Wattenscheid
in the Ruhr Valley 1954 and
started out working as a social padagogue.
1982-87 he studied photography
at the famous Folkwangschule
in Essen, where he was strongly influenced
and impressed by his professor
Inge Oswald.
She taught him that the position of a
womans hand can be more erotic than
her naked breasts. After his first book “
Erotic Photographs” he was discoverd
by the publisher Peter W Czernich,
who provided a forum for his sensual
provocative pictures in his magazines
“O”, “skin Two” and “Marquis”.
After that ther publishing houses were
intersted too and Wolfgang Eichler
worked for “Penthouse”, “Playboy”,
“Men’s Health”, “New Look”, “Skylight”
and the french “Photo”. As opposed to
most “erotic photographers” he was
able to combine irony and sex without
loosing any of the sensual expressions
in his pictures. He told stories with his
photo arrangements and has established
himself as a photographer of erotic
fantasies.
