CARS & LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY Jun 2007

Ivo von Renner lives in Hamburg, Germany though he tells us that the world has become his 'extended home'.

He had hoped to become an actor, but went on to study art and graphic design and began shooting scenarios with people for magazines.

A few years later he was approached by an art director to shoot the Volkswagen Golf in the same manner as he had captured women for his personal series and, thus, people and cars became a big success.

From 1990, he began shooting in Italy, Austria and Switzerland and then the US, Czech Republic and Spain and now China.

Ivo has a way of always trying to see things from a different perspective. He is fascinated by people and the character they possess. He is an explorer by nature and thrives 'on the hunt', perceiving challenges as a reward not an obstacle. To say he has a hunger for life would be an understatement.
