Sebastian Lager photographs accessories for the May 2024 issue of Harper’s Bazaar US.
Austrian-born photographer Sebastian Lager developed an unconventional approach to still life photography, relying on nature and his surroundings. Lager’s pictures emphasise the freedom and absurdity of the medium, alternating between fake snapshots and precisely staged compositions. His use of set and propping reinforces this balance, resulting in unlikely and comical formations.
Lager studied photography in Vienna and graduated in 2013. His clients include Adidas, Burberry, Carven, Loewe, M Le Magazine du Monde, Palm Angels, Paul Smith, Saint Laurent, The Gentlewoman, W Magazine, WSJ and Zeit Magazine.
