Doris Reinemann Fotostudio was a photography studio based in Solingen, Germany, operated by photographer Doris Reinemann (1930-2019). The studio is documented as a credited photographer in academic publications, including a sociology textbook where it is listed in the image credits for a portrait of sociologist Richard Münch.[1]
Design and History
Doris Reinemann, born Doris Rendel on February 1, 1930, died on October 15, 2019. Her obituary lists her family residence at Kleinenberger Straße 45 in Solingen, which corresponds to the studio’s location.[2]
The studio’s 1983 logo is attributed to German graphic designer Manfred Korten (1934-2016), who ran Atelier Korten in Solingen with his wife Ingrid.[3][4] Korten’s design work for Solingen clients is documented in the international design compendium World Corporate Identity 2, which lists Atelier Korten as the designer for several German corporate identity projects.[5]
Beyond corporate identity work, Atelier Korten produced posters for political causes, including an Antikriegstag (Anti-War Day) poster in 1989 for the Solingen Peace Forum and related organizations.[6] The studio also handled the production of a 1988 art book on the 19th-century painter Friedrich August de Leuw, published by Stadt-Sparkasse Solingen.[7]
