BIO
Over the last two decades, globally recognized photographer Dorit Thies has earned a stellar reputation as a go-to talent for beauty, hair and fashion clients looking for inspired and memorable solutions to their most high-profile projects.
Clients such as Estee Lauder, GLAMGLOW, SEPHORA, Revlon, Urban Decay, French ELLE and GLAMOUR seek out the LA-based photographer for her consistent ability to conduct and manage shoots that produce premium work that is done efficiently, on schedule and on budget.
Balancing her work as a fashion, beauty and branding photographer with her fine art photography, Dorit has in recent years expanded her repertoire to include floral still-lifes, landscapes, portraits and other evocative compositions. Her first botanical compositions earned her an invitation to Europe to present her images at a solo show in early 2020.
Always expanding her creative horizons and skill sets, Dorit’s passion for impactful imagery and directing have led her to new opportunities in visual storytelling, including experimental videos and other formats.
