Steffi Jaeger has been an important player in the photography scene for as long as I can remember. I first met her at Camera Work, where I enjoyed her insightful tours through the shows. Her engaging style and expertise left a lasting impression, and we’ve stayed in touch ever since.
Steffi and her husband Benjamin have since founded their own gallery, so it was about time to do a proper recap on her career in the world of photography. Dive in and enjoy the read!
When and how did you start your career in the arts / photography business?
I was already very focused on photography while studying art history in the mid-‘90s. At that time, photography became increasingly prominent in the cultural sector. I felt it was becoming more established as an art form in Germany, and I wanted to be part of that movement. While studying, I started working for PPS, a professional photo lab, where I met its founder, F.C. Gundlach.
