After developing his skills as assistant of legendary photographers like David LaChapelle, Peter Lindbergh, Albert Watson and Patrick Demarchelier among others, Dirk Bader started his own path.

Having trained with analog photography under those legends, his impeccable lighting certainly is a result of those early years. Also his sensible use of color and careful composition can be traced back to his defining years in New York.

Since then his beauty and fashion work has been appreciated by clients around the world including Saatchi&Saatchi, Grey, Leo Burnett, Braun, Gillette, Betty Barclay and Ferrari among others. Recent editorial publications include Vogue, Elle and Marie Claire.
