Will Burgdorf began his career as a photographer in 1930, and by 1931, had established a studio at Lister Platz in Hanover. He specialized in portraiture and expressively posed nudes, often depicting his sitters with closed eyes, lending his images a distinctive sense of inward contemplation. With the outbreak of the Second World War, Burgdorf’s career came to an abrupt end, and he was reported missing in 1945. – Some oxidation mirroring in lower area and edge, otherwise in very good condition.
