Michael Barth

Michael Barth was born in Nuremberg in 1964. His father, a well-known journalist from the 1960s and 1970s, introduced him to photography at an early age. After his apprenticeship in Munich, numerous assistances followed in the areas of fashion, people and stilllife photography. Extensive trips to North and Central America followed; there he supported projects of indigenous peoples politically and photographically, worked closely with tribal councils on environmental protection. To realize his projects, he worked in Munich as a studio photographer and commercial film maker for the industry. He devoted himself to Art-Photography his entire life. For almost two decades he and his wife organize exhibitions in pop-up galleries and temporary exhibition areas selling his pictures directly to collectors and art lovers.
