Vero Bielinski is a German Photographer, of Polish heritage, currently based in Frankfurt a.M., Germany.
Bielinski received her Diploma in Photography and Communication Design from the University Hochschule Darmstadt in 2013. She studied under the tutelage of Professor Michael Kerstgens and Honorary Professor Barbara Klemm. During her studies Bielinski spent the practical semester in New York City assisting photographer Ken Schles. In addition she studied 6 months at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, Poland. Through these experiences Bielinski was able to expand upon her already existing foundation in the arts. While in Kraków Vero Bielinski focused on painting and print-making.
Gaining skills and receiving exposure to the traditional methods and techniques of old Renaissance masters. In NYC she was given the opportunity to work and learn from renowned photographers, most notably Robert Frank.
In her practice, Bielinski captures the wonders of reality. In her long-term photographic series she documents sociopolitical topics like urban sub-cultures and the beautiful people that participate in them and is able to enter what may otherwise be a closed community to outsiders. For instance, her work about the life of Brooklyn hipsters in their peak, which was published worldwide in a photobook
by Kerber Verlag in 2015. Her empathetic charisma and trustful way allows her to create approachable, raw and honest portraits.
She is represented by Ingo Seufert Gallery for contemporary photography in Munich. Since 2012 Vero Bielinski has been working as an international freelance photographer and her work has been exhibited in many shows and awarded numerous prizes.
