Diana Scheunemann Photography Information

Diana Scheunemann is a Swiss/German photographer who has lived and worked in Zürich, Paris, London, New York and Los Angeles. Her unique vision keeps her in demand for advertising and editorial campaigns, and has led her to be commissioned by celebrities across the world. She has concurrently spent over a decade traveling and capturing the personal scenes from her life with provocative honesty. Citing her "exotic and, at times, extreme lifestyle" as an influence for her work, she remains hungry for new directions and projects. Since 1999 she has undertaken the photo-diary project Behind My Face, which aims to document every day of her life through self-portraiture. In 2010 she made the transition to moving picture with Love American Skin, a feature-length documentary art film. The film explores her autobiographical inclinations whilst examining her passions for personal freedom and humanity through a series of unflinching interviews with strangers she met during two months on the road. The film allows the viewer to travel through contemporary American culture, and engage with it through her distinctive lens. In 2021 Diana started the project ‘YOU BY DIANA’. She portraits everyday women in intimate situations with the purpose of their own personal empowerment. Check it out here: www.YouByDiana.com
