MINKKINEN, Arno Rafael - Minkkinen

Background information

"Now spanning five decades of non-stop continuity, Finnish-American photographer Arno Rafael MINKKINEN’s unmanipulated self-portraits aim to create a balance between the naked human form and the natural and urban worlds wherein we exist.  Whether he is working along lakeshores or beaches, in cities or forests, from majestic mountaintops or buried in the snow, Arno Rafael MINKKINEN reminds us that we are foremost beings without clothes. Photographed in more than 30 countries, the results can be surreal, spiritual, and transformative, often tinged with a profound sense of humor." (publisher's note, © Kehrer Verlag, 2018)
