Luxury fashion photographer Bruce Weber opened an exhibition in Old Town featuring his entire life’s work, simply titled My Education.
The 78 year-old Weber is celebrating his retirement from the industry with a limited-time exhibition in Prague’s Old Town Square.
“My expectations for the night were already high when we were serenaded by a full gospel choir and baby grand while waiting in line to enter the exhibition,” said marketing student Carmen Bays. “I was awestruck standing before the timeline of his career alongside his breathtaking photographs. Witnessing his humbleness and dedication is an experience that will stay with me forever.”
Weber began shooting luxury fashion brand campaigns after university. Some of his more widely recognized ads include Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, Versace, and Calvin Klein.
One of his most famous series extends beyond the fashion industry, featuring Nelson Mandela, former President of South Africa, during the peak of his political influence.
The exhibition is constructed like a circular maze, with each floor showcasing his chronological developments as a photographer.
My Education is open to the public from 20 September to 9 January at the Stone Bell House.
Tickets are available online and at the door for CZK 90 with an ISIC card shown, and CZK 200 without.
