Gabriele Viertel

German fine art photographer, born near Cologne, Gabriele Viertel now lives and works in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
She grew up as the youngest of 3 children in a rural area with an extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins. Inspired by her father, an avid filmmaker and amateur photographer, she took for the first time at the age of 14 his analogue camera to photograph the children of the family.
During the knowledge in technical design, she worked as a model to fund the studie. Completed the degree, Gabriele decided to move on to pursue the international career as a model and worked more than a decade for designers such as Dior and Karl Lagerfeld. Since she dedicated herself entirely to the art of photography as a freelance artist.
Conceptually, Viertel's images compete with the dialog between the mediums of painting and photography. The magical, often surreal pictorial language and the chiaroscuro brightness are characteristic means of expression. The major part of her works is staged underwater. Gabriele has received numerous awards, most recently the platin award

Austin's LGBTQ scene has it all. You don't own to look for rainbow flags or limit yourself to one small part of Austin if you're interested in experiencing everything that the city's large and varied LGBTQ community has to offer. Unlike many places, which have only one or two areas known as 'gay districts,' Austin's LGBTQ residents are truly everywhere. And proud of it!

We've also helped to build, renew and revitalize many of the city's most popular, vibrant neighborhoods. So, come along on a quick tour (you can operate, walk, bike or hop on the bus) for some of the best offerings.
