If one follows Franz Sauer's evolutionary development through the vision he brings to his photographs, it does not take long to recognize the incredible journey he has travelled in the last few years.
He has successfully explored most all reaches of nude and semi-nude photography, and is as expressive and capable within the confines of the studio as he is in the field of outdoor photography. His photographs can range from tantalizing pin-up style to provocatively sensual or just charmingly natural.
He magically blends the beauty of his particular model with the surroundings he has chosen for them, whether it be a fine mountain-scene under a blanket of snow, a forest stream surrounded by vibrant colors, an idyllic lake environment, or an abandoned house with shards of glass and litter abounding.
It appears that the photographic niche he currently specializes in, and finds the most pleasure capturing, is that of placing his nudes in the great outdoors.
