Peter Keetman - Profile

(Profile only availible in german - translated by machine) The photographer Peter Keetman visited the Bavarian State School for photo Resources (Last: State Academy of Photo Design Munich) from 1935 to 1937, was convened in 1940 and returned to the armed forces injured in 1944 back from the war. After several years of assistance and journeymen he laid in 1948 in Munich from his master. Keetman 1949 was a founding member of the "fotoform" Group and certain as a freelance commercial photographer in the 1950s, the major direction of which hit the "New Photography". One of his best known works is a series of Volkswagen, where he sat at work in the Mittelland channel without job very interesting and revolutionary time graphical views of the assembly-line technique, pile of metal parts and technical details about the construction of the beetles into the picture. His trademarks were very meticulous, introverted photos, which are often close to the graphics and have a certain severity of the emotion. (Excerpt Wikipedia)
