Exhibition Hameln Germany 25 August 2023

 

Zimmermann (carpenter) 1958

 

Heide Smith Soltsien - Master of Light and Shade

Most of the 55 images in this exhibition were taken before I married and left Germany in 1963. My  name was still Soltsien, and I worked as a photo journalist for the Dewezet Daily Newspaper. Some of the images were taken in 1979, when I was commissioned by CW Niemeyer, the owner of the Dewezet, to photograph  Hameln for a book Lebendiges Hameln.  

If you are unable to travel to Hameln to see the exhibition, I invite you to see them on this website in my Hameln Collection Gallery

Reviews

 
 

"Heide Smith has become Australia's most important female photographer of recent times. Of course, this also makes her one of Australia's most important contemporary photographers, but women have particularly struggled to be seen in this country, and history will, one day, record the true value of Heide's contribution to our visual history"
