Mona Kuhn

Mona Kuhn is best known for her large-scale, dream-like photographs of the human form. Her pictures often reference classical themes with a light and insightful touch. Kuhn’s approach to her work is distinguished by the close relationships she develops with her subjects, resulting in images of remarkable naturalness and intimacy, and creating the effect of people who are naked but comfortable in their own skin. Kuhn’s Steidl books include Photographs (2004), Evidence (2007), Native (2009), Bordeaux Series (2011) and Private (2014).
