Iris Brosch: bio

Iris Brosch

The artist , photographer and director Iris Brosch, living between New York and Paris, is known internationally for restoring dignity and strength to the image of women in photography. Her photographic style has been described as “ Miuccia Prada meets Leonardo da Vinci”. Brosch’s unique celebration of female sensuality moves in fresh and fascinating directions in her ability to rework timeless classicism with a thoroughly modern twist. The work of Iris Brosch is and isn’t anything we have seen before. It is Raphaelian. It is Modern. It is mystical and ethereal, anchored by the weight of a powerful female mind.
