Lotte Herrlich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lotte Herrlich (1883-1956) was a German photographer. She is regarded as one of the most important naturist photographer. Self-taught, she took her nude and portraits photographs inside her small home, exploiting lighting and simple furniture and attempting to reveal the soul and thoughts of the subject. These photographs spread the ideals of the FKK (Freikorperkultur, or Free Body Culture).
