Biography

Michael Schmidt (6 October 1945 – 24 May 2014) was a German photographer. Schmidt focused on Berlin and explored the burden of German identity within modern history. Schmidt started photographing West Berlin's streets, buildings, and people in 1965, using a semi-documentary style. He continued creating "ambitious projects" in the city, almost entirely in black and white, with an increasingly impressionistic approach, up until his death in 2014. Each project was first exhibited, then published as a book. Schmidt founded the Werkstatt für Photographie (Workshop for Photography) in Berlin in 1976. The Museum of Modern Art in New York City exhibited U-nit-y in 1996; Frauen was exhibited at the Berlin Biennale in 2010; and Lebensmittel, his series on the global food industry, was shown at the Venice Biennale in 2013. Haus der Kunst in Munich held a retrospective exhibition of his work in 2010. Parr and Badger included his book Waffenruhe (1987) in The Photobook: A History, Volume II. He died in 2014, just days after receiving the Prix Pictet for Lebensmittel.
