General info :
Bob Krieger (born 7 September 1936 in Alexandria, Egypt - died 7 May 2020, La Romana (Dominican Republic) (aged 84)) was an Italian photographer.

Born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1936, at the age of 23 he met a German photographer in Egypt who offered him to become his assistant to photograph the pyramids in Cairo. He did a good job and was offered a position as permanent assistant in Stuttgart for the fashion magazine Elegant Welt.

Krieger moved to Milan in 1967 to start his own business and photographic career. In addition to his work with fashion designers and international publications, he portrayed prominent figures across all industries, including Gianni Agnelli, Bill Gates, Marco Tronchetti Provera, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, Lapo Elkann, as well as Charlotte Rampling and Rupert Everett, among others.

Through his work spanning four decades, Krieger contributed to a pivotal moment in Italian history — the rise of the Made in Italy culture throughout the world. He lensed prominent personalities from the country’s fashion, political and sports arenas, and collaborated with international publications including The New York Times Magazine, Vogue, Esquire and Harper’s Bazaar, while he served as art director of the Bazaar Italia title from 1970 to 1975.

Starting from the Sixties, Krieger photographed editorials and iconic campaigns for Valentino, Gianfranco Ferrè, Versace, Missoni, Laura Biagiotti, Moschino and Emilio Pucci and lensed top models including Linda Evangelista, Iman and Janice Dickinson. His informal black-and-white portraits of the likes of Giorgio Armani, Valentino Garavani, Miuccia Prada and Gianni Versace have remained memorable.

In recent years Krieger extended his production to contemporary art. His works have been exhibited in various exhibitions in Italy and abroad, for example at the Imago Art Gallery in London (2010) and at the Palazzo Reale in Milan (2011).

Bob Krieger died in May 2020, in Santo Domingo , while he was a guest in a villa of friends.
