biography

Otto Lohmüller grew up in Gengenbach, where he still lives today. In 1961 he began an apprenticeship as a gravure retoucher in Offenburg and later worked in this profession for a large German publishing house. Lohmüller is married and has two sons, who have also repeatedly modeled his nude pictures of underage boys.

Lohmüller illustrated numerous song books, volumes of poetry and books from the area of ​​the Bündische Jugend and the boy scouts. He self-published a volume entitled ICH SAG JA , which mainly contains portraits and nudes of boys.

As a scout leader, he took over the age group of the local young scouts. With children between 11 and 13 years of age, this corresponded to the age group of the nude models in his numerous pictures of naked boys, whereby Lohmüller also depicted his nude models occasionally dressed in boy scout uniforms.

In 1986 he brought out his second book, Species Knabe , which contains naked sketches of underage boys with the rapidograph. In 1987 the band KALÓS followed , which also contains nude portraits of underage boys.

In 1990 a volume was published with the title Faces . In the following time there were also pictures on current topics and annoyances as well as human weaknesses, of people and their customs, from the Black Forest to overseas.

The focus in Lohmüller's work, however, is the large number of portraits of boys , mainly consisting of nudes and portraits . In the case of the files, the focus is primarily on nude photos of boys around the onset of puberty, with Lohmüller often depicting the genitals in a neutral manner.
