Wolf Ademeit

Wolf Ademeit was born in Oberhausen, and grew up in NRW, Germany. He started photography during his lithographic education. In 2007 he started to photograph zoo animals for the ANIMALS series. The black background and the artistic representation of the animals in black and white are his trademark. This image style has inspired many photographers and is now also used by many other animal photographers worldwide. Artists use his pictures as a template for drawings, paintings and tattoos. His pictures are used as illustrations, magazine title pages, book covers and advertising. An exhibition in Milano, Italy, fostering the Elephant Action League, which protects elephants in Africa, provided in 2016 a five-digit proceeds to protect the animals.
