The world of photographer Annie Bertram seethes with images of pensive octopus-accessorized lovelies, screaming steampunk angels and dark fairytale themes. Annie Bertram is a German-based photographer whose photos often embody a painterly quality--deep tones and textures evocative of Pre-Raphaelite masterworks--that sets her work apart from much of the Gothic imagery so popular now.
Annie Bertram's work is not limited to fashion and pin-up photography. She has done work for several bands and fellow artists, and is particularly proud of her collection 'Forgotten Places' that features such places as abandoned homes, factories and hospitals.
Annie Bertram's current offerings include a 2010 calendar, prints of some of her photos and a book titled 'Wahre Marchen.' As she is in high demand for CD and book projects, you can expect more fascinating images from Annie Bertram soon.
