Bio

Frank Kunert (b. 1963 in Frankfurt am Main) grew up in the Rhine-Main region and started taking photographs as a teenager, when he particularly was interested in landscape photography. After completing secondary school, he trained as a photographer and nurtured his love for studio work. He remains true to this pursuit even today and his focus has been on designing and photographing miniature scenes for a long time. In the meantime, he can make such a good living from it that he owns numerous houses and cars (mainly in 1 : 12 to 1 : 43 scale). His works are regularly presented at exhibitions in Germany and abroad and have been published in his photo books "Topsy-Turvy World", "Wunderland", "Carpe Diem", and "Lifestyle" (Hatje Cantz Verlag, Berlin). The artist received several awards, including the Heinrich Zille Caricature Prize, the silver medal at the Biennial Dimensional Salon in New York and the German Photo Book Award in silver. Frank Kunert is a member of the Professional Association of Visual Artists in Rhineland-Palatinate and the German Society for Photography (DGPh). He is married and lives with his wife in Boppard, between Cologne and Frankfurt.
