Photographer Frederike Helwig

Born in Hamburg in 1968, Frederike Helwig studied photography at Bournemouth College of Art and Design from 1992 - 94 and received her first assignment whilst still at college from Terry Jones at i.D. From here she was asked to work for all the exciting magazines at the time, i.D, The Face, Dazed & Confused and Vogue. When asked about that time, Helwig remarks “it was really my school, London in the 90s was all about pushing boundaries and trying to change what we thought was the boring world of commercial photography in to something more interesting. Our hero’s lived and worked very close to us, we were a small community poised on the brink of greatness. And some of us made it, some of us didn’t”.
