Fotoausstellung "Ines Growth Journey“ und "Lorena Velvet Allure“

In the organizer's words:

Solo exhibition by Rüdiger Spieler with vernissage and wine tasting at Prior Weinhandel

From 20.06.2026 to 28.06.2026, Rüdiger Spieler will be showing an extraordinary photo exhibition under the label Craft Werk 4 at Prior Weinhandel in Bielefeld with around 50 large-format prints relating to the book project "Ines Growth Journey" as well as initial insights into the new project "Lorena Velvet Allure". The exhibition occupies around 30 meters of wall space in the barn and storage rooms at Dornberger Straße 300 and is complemented by showcases with prototypes, print material and other exhibits.

A special highlight is the vernissage on Saturday, 20.06.2026, which will take place in conjunction with a wine tasting. Prior registration by email (mailto:craft-werk-4@spieleronline.de) is expressly requested for the vernissage.

The artist: Rüdiger Spieler is the photographer behind the exhibition "Ines Growth Journey & Lorena Velvet Allure". Fascinated by analog black and white photography since his childhood, he rediscovered his passion in 2016, inspired by his daughter in the modeling business. His portfolio includes portrait, fashion, boudoir and nude shots. He is not only featured in SWAN magazine issue 06, but also publishes his own fine art magazine "Craft Werk 4", which is produced in the studio of the same name near Bielefeld. He works with great passion in a small group with two models on long-term projects with the aim of turning them into books. His works combine playful lightness, natural moods and the courage to create intimate images, characterized by mutual trust and artistic vision.

The free exhibition is deliberately designed for a wide audience: For photography enthusiasts, collectors, buyers of the book as well as wine lovers. The combination of visual art and wine creates an atmospheric setting that invites visitors to linger and talk.

Background to the book projects:
"Ines Growth Journey" is a fine art monograph in black and white, created from the intensive collaboration between model Ines and photographer Rüdiger over a period of 5.5 years. The large-format illustrated book combines 504 photographs on 640 pages and was produced in a limited edition on high-quality fine art paper. The journey leads through various locations - from abandoned industrial buildings, beaches and dance studios to villas and hotels - and spans the spectrum from fashion and portraits to boudoir photography. The prototype of the book was already the basis for an award at the Print and Media Award 2024, where the printing partner was named best book printer.

"Lorena - Velvet Allure" complements the "Ines Growth Journey" art project as an exclusive sister illustrated book and takes the monograph series to a new level of collecting and experiencing. While "Ines Growth Journey" ends in powerful boudoir photography, "Lorena - Velvet Allure" starts right there and expands the spectrum to include artistic nude photography with a stronger focus on sensuality and provocation. In terms of design, the volume with its velvet cover and deliberately sensual feel is an exciting contrast to the clear, elegant linen look of "Ines Growth Journey". Both works are planned as a small, limited edition and conceived as a collector's duo.
