Peter Lorenz

photographer

Peter Lorenz is a photographer known for his 'Shaven Angels' series. His work focuses on nude photography that explores themes of vulnerability, self-confidence, and the 'girl next door' aesthetic. He captures personalities rather than focusing on physical attributes like breast size or leg length. Lorenz has noted that many of his subjects were already shaven before shoots, suggesting a broader cultural trend toward hairlessness as a fashion statement or an exploration of former taboos. His work is characterized by its artistic approach to eroticism and melancholy.[1,2,3]
