Use Flöter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ilse Flöter , maiden name Ilse Reyer (* 1919 in Berlin ; missing since 1949 ), was a German fashion photographer .

Flöter trained as a photographer from 1934 to 1937 in the Binder studio in Berlin. In 1940 she married the photographer Hubs Flöter , whom she met in the Binder studio. During her husband's war deployment, she ran the joint studio, founded in 1938, and her fashion photographs appeared mainly in the magazine Die Mode , 740 photographs in 23 issues. In 1933, the obligation to label photographs was introduced and Flöter's works initially appeared under the name of her husband. But when it began to attract attention that a large number of photographs of a man apparently "fit for military service" filled the pages of each individual booklet, the photographs were from then on signed with Hubs and Ilse Flöter .

After the end of the war, she worked with her husband as a press and fashion photographer, from 1948 in close cooperation with the magazine Film und Frau . Since the works again appeared under the name of the husband or under a common name, it is difficult to separate Ilse Flöter's works in the post-war period from those of her husband. It is possible that the precise, statuesque style attributed to Hubs Flöter's fashion photos is indeed characteristic of his wife's style.

In 1949 Ilse Flöter disappeared on a trip to Austria and has been missing ever since. In 1951 she was pronounced dead.
