Wilhelm Warstat (also known as W. Warstat or Dr. W. Warstat) was a German photographer and author active in the early 20th century. He is notably associated with 'Aktphotographie' (nude photography), specifically focusing on its aesthetics and techniques. His primary work, 'Der schöne Akt: Bildmäßige Aktphotographie, ihre Ästhetik und Technik', published in Berlin in 1929 by Verlag Guido Hackebeil, serves as a significant study of the medium, featuring numerous reproductions of nude figures. Warstat's contributions to photography were characterized by an interest in the artistic and psychological aspects of the human form.[1]
