Born and raised in Austria. Meinrad Hofer studied photography at the school of Photography and Audio-Visual Media in Vienna, before he began working professionally in 2003. His nomadic spirit brought him tomany remote places in this world, especially the Himalayan region. Various exhibitions in museums and galleries followed. In 2010 he moved to New York, where he worked with Steven Klein, Craig McDean, and as well on various portrait and film projects.
He portrayed for different magazines the Dalai Lama, Karl Markovic, Erwin Wurm, Leonard Cohen, Lionel Richie, Karl Lagerfeld, Diane von Fürstenberg, John Malkovich amongst others.
Meinrad is an idealist who strives for perfection in his work. His acute sensitivity and sense of beauty seizes the beauty of existence; yet his unassailable passion and high impact charm injects a warmth and soul into
each image he creates.
Meinrad lives between New York and Vienna.
