"My name is Claus Rose, class 1968, I was born in Bavaria and grew up and live since 1996 in Jena, Thuringia. Photography as life, with all their facets and expression possibilities, the passion came early to me. It is fun for me to work in a creative way as well as being interactive with people. In the past few years I have been doing freelance photography. I publish FINE ART FOTO on the Internet and in magazines, for example as cooperator for the magazine, and organize exhibitions and Workshops. The charm of taking pictures, which lends a special aura of the aesthetics and beauty to the model, has a strong fascination for me. My opinion about photos of naked women or a naked men are in principle neither unaesthetic nor youth-endangering. I find it unfortunate that the straight act photography until today must fight against prejudices. Unfortunately numerous dubious professionals or amateur photographers contributes to a negative image. It is in my heart to make a contribution in addition to make photography natural as continuation of the classical art painting for the broad population.
My pictures are as different as my models. The photos always develop in the mutual rapport with the models. By experience I obtain the best pictures if the model brings itself as strongly as possible into the picture design. Only then the balance between intended production and free space for the personality can be mastered. The model must participate in the design of a picture and should never be treated as raw material. In addition the mutual cooperation give and take makes work a lot of fun"
