“Your photos have a dreamlike quality with a fantasy element to it.
It always looks like you have a great personal connection with your models. Most photographers lack that personal connection.
It’s interesting because you’re ahead of the curve in your work”

“J. Konrad Schmidt is one of the nicest persons I have ever met. Not only an extraordinary photographer but also a walking dictionary regarding photography. Too shy to admit his enormous skills but also somebody who does not keep his expertise for himself. Only 39 years of age, can you imagine what great career lies in front of him?!”
Only those who know what’s missing will be those who care. For that reason i support charity auctions with my photography art work for years. I fund money for projects that deserve attention and especially for science against bad diseases to maybe make them curable one day.

“I only know a few people who combine excluding opposites as nonchalantly as Konrad. An incredible love for the own profession. His photography is dominated by beautiful women. A touch of nostalgic inviolability. Technically perfect without being artificial. Mystical… deep… real… fascinating!”
