Michelle Magdalena Maddox

Magdalena is both German and American, having grown up in California and the french border of the Black Forest. At age 17, Magdalena began a lifelong journey in photography which was inspired by her mother Birgit Maddox ( also a fine art photographer ). Magdalena's limited etherial and evocative photographs are collected amongst the works of the 20th century greats like Edward Weston, Imogen Cunningham, Ruth Bernhardt and Irving Penn. Photographs are available in limited edition portfolios and archival silver gelatin and platinum prints and are personally crafted in the darkroom by the artist. Large productions like the series titled, MILK which she have been working on for over a decade have been exhibited at FotoLA. "I am a strong voice for the natural feminine and believe that the protection of the planet it our highest priority along with respecting cultures around the world. "
