Inge Kraus Photography
Operating a traveling photography studio, artist Inge Kraus is based in the Denver, Colorado area.
Inge has worked in the field of art since her earliest days and her beginning photographic experience began when her father taught her photographic dark-room technique in her early teen years. Inge’s paternal grandfather, Sigismunds Vidbergs (1890-1970) was a well known graphic artist with many of his works exhibited in fine art museums throughout Europe. Through his encouragement and tutelage , he was responsible for instilling an appreciation and love of art in his granddaughter. Later, Inge was accepted into and attended the prestigious Cooper Union School of Art in New York City, the only full scholarship school in the United States. She also studied sculpture and painting at the Brookly Museum of Art School.
Since then, Inge won numerous awards in various art shows and had several one woman exhibits of her work in acrylic and oils in New York, Minneapolis , and Washington DC.
Now Inge enjoys pursuing her artistic talents in such mediums as stained glass, jewelry design and woodworking. But by far her favorite medium continues to be photography. Inge uses only the highest quality Canon cameras and lenses in her work but only recently began to turn photography into a full-time endeavor. The advent of digital photography really opened the creative possibilities for Inge and she especially enjoys including sophisticated photo manipulation to create magical effects.
Inge is also fond of fashion and nature photography. Her husband Don is an actor, writer and director and together they owned a theater company in New York where Inge became familiar with the needs of actors and models in pursuit of expanding their stage and film careers.You may view more of her works at ingekraus.com
