Walde Huth was a German photographer, known especially for her work in the fashion industry and for her street-style composition.
Early Life
[edit]Walde Huth was born on January 29, 1923, in Stuttgart, the manufacturing hub of Germany. At seventeen years of age, she began attending the State School of Applied Arts in Weimar,[1] where she studied under esteemed photographer and professor Walter Hege. His pupil for three years, (1940-1943), Huth then began working for Agfa Wolfen, a film distribution plant now known as ORWO.[2]
Career
[edit]Esslingen Gallery
[edit]After working and learning at Agfa, Huth founded a studio of her own in Esslingen (district), called the "Artistic Photo Workshop". Here, she would display her portrait, art, and theater photography.[3] However, her most prized work, perhaps, was her fashion photography. Huth got the chance to travel the world this way, her most iconic work coming from her adventures in Paris, France. Working out in the cities and on the streets instead of in the studio, Huth attracted a lot of attention from big-name magazines like Vogue.[4]
Working Couple
[edit]Rejecting an offer of contract by Vogue, Huth instead co-founded "Schmölz and Huth" with her husband, Karl Hugo Schmölz. The studio would serve as an advertising and public relations hub in Cologne, Germany. It remained in business until closing in 1986, and remains one of Walde Huth's biggest successes.[5]
