Diana Scheunemann is a very ambitious photographer who has lived an exotic and, at times, extreme lifestyle that informs her work. She has shot for a range of editorial and advertising campaigns around the world, exhibited her personal work in galleries across Europe and has published three books; "Ambisexual" in 2001, "Diana Scheunemann" in 2005, and "Freedom in Flashes" in 2007. She is already preparing her fourth book.   The trademark intimacy found in Diana's work first originated from recording her friends’ most personal moments. Her work now stems from this by ensuring that the trust between the subject and herself is well and truly in place. This approach is clearly evident in Diana's stunning pictures which are so often full of fun and energy. She is highly creative and productive; she thrives on working to a brief; and she loves to travel in pursuit of her work.   With a natural ability to create an atmosphere that is both relaxed and professional. The results of this skill are revealed in the vast body of her photographic work where the observer becomes absorbed in the captured moments, and fascinated by the possibility of what happens next…   PJ NORMAN
