A limited edition giclée on photo paper by South African photographer Rodney Nissen-Petzer. Shot backstage at a summer/spring fashion show in London for Antonio Berardi in 1997, this work features famed Danish model and photographer Helena Christensen, who was considered one of the leading editorial models in the 1980s and 1990s. Christensen is pictured in the outfit that she wore walking down the runway, however Nissen-Petzer shot her backstage, where he preferred to shoot models at fashion shows rather than photographing them on the runway.
Rodney Nissen-Petzer obtained his photography degree in South Africa at Durban University of Technology. In addition to South Africa, he has spent his career working in London and the United States. Previously, his agent in London was Martyn Creed at M+M Management (now at Sarah Kaye). Throughout his career, Nissen-Petzer has worked with a number of respected fashion editors and photographers such as Iain R. Webb for The Times in London, Caroline Baker for You magazine, Michael Roberts for Tatler, Horst P. Horst, and Clive Arrowsmith. He has also photographed numerous celebrities, including Naomi Campbell, Erin O’Connor, Rachel Boss, Christina Aguilera, and Jennifer Lopez.
