Bettina von Zwehl
Photographer
Zwehl began her career with an apprenticeship in Italy then came to London and studied at LCP; she has come full circle as she now teaches in BA photography at LCC. After LCP, she completed an MA at RCA.
Sources of inspiration
Zwehl states that every project has different sources of inspiration, but highlights the origins of the profile images.
- Italian Renaissance paintings
- Different tones of neutral colours
Role models
Zwehl cites the photographer Irvin Penn and Hans Holbein, the Renaissance artist who was originally from Germany, like Zwehl is, as a role model. Just like he was, Zwehl feels adopted into the British art culture and see herself as a British photographer now, since she is mainly established here as a photographer.
