Stefan Moses (29 August 1928 – 3 February 2018) [1] was a German photographer living in Munich.

Life

Born in Legnica, Province of Lower Silesia, Moses was forced to leave school in 1943 because of his Jewish heritage and survived a forced labour camp.[2] After training as a photographer in Wrocław shortly after the end of World War II, he worked as a theatre photographer at the Deutsches Nationaltheater und Staatskapelle Weimar. From 1950, he lived in Munich, where he first became known for his reportages for the Stern. His documentary portraits of people and professions in West Germany (Germans) and later in East Germany (Farewell and Beginnings) made him accessible to a large audience. Moses took people out of their working environment and photographed them in front of a grey linen cloth - thus creating contemporary documents. Stefan Moses also created portraits of numerous personalities such as Thomas Mann, Ilse Aichinger, Erich Kästner, Peggy Guggenheim, Theodor W. Adorno, Otto Dix, Max Frisch or Martin Mayer. An exhibition of his life's work has been on display in various European cities since 2003. In 2017, the grand seigneur of German portrait photography, bequeathed 158 large-format portraits of German emigrants to the Stiftung Exilmuseum Berlin [de]. These were taken between 1947 and 2003. Stefan Moses was married to the artist Else Bechteler-Moses [de].
