PIERRE KARKAU   "Pierre Thomas Karkau loves this life. Perhaps this is the reason why it decided to become a fashion photographer over 12 years ago. Photography is not a profession but an attitude to life in this sense; a tribute to the life; to the sensuality. What makes his pictures so special is also that. He comes loose of the popular photo aesthetics and forms his own style. Non- painted body oil, no realistic trash, no Conceptive Art. It doesn't fit in any niche and becomes his work just by the interplay and the variety of the work to this what it is. I learned to know and to appreciate Pierre Thomas Karkau as colleagues. His open character makes his pictures so fresh and uncomplicated. He reaches for the camera and makes excellent pictures. Very simple. Photography has something like the painting or the music with mind and feeling to work. It represents Pierre's position, his position of the women and his aesthetics. He has worked in all great Metropolis of the world in the meantime and many free artistic works are there besides his commercial order work arisen. The book on hand shows a Reminiscence of this work. The title, Models Secrets, isn't elected by chance, it also shows a look behind the scenes of this fast-moving business anyway. However, in what is the secret lying now? ...at the moment."
