Andreas Hosch was born near Stuttgart in 1975 and grew up in the Munich area from the age of six. His passion for photography and graffiti painting developed in the late 1980s. By the early 1990s, he was already exhibiting his photographs and amongst others won the Kodak federal youth photography prize with an experimental work. In 1996, at the age of 21, he completed his apprenticeship as a photographer and worked briefly as an assistant to various fashion photographers in Europe.
From 1998 to around 2015, Andreas Hosch worked as a freelance photographer worldwide for renowned fashion magazines and international clients. For over a decade, he was represented by the Berlin agency F1 under Irene Hansen and also by West Artists agency in Milan. At the same time he founded the photography course at the Blocherer Design School in Munich in 2011, where he still enjoys lecturing from time to time.
In 2015, Andreas deliberately ended his career as a fashion photographer in order to devote himself to free conceptual art again in the future. Using analog photography, abstract painting, and advanced photo transfer techniques, he has since been presenting his work exclusively at exhibitions.
His current works are free continuations of his long-standing work with dynamically arranged bodies. The often eccentrically acting models are accompanied by partly impulsive, partly detailed staging of acrylic paint. These completions are created in the same spirit and with the same aesthetic love of composition as the photography itself. Compared to pure photography, the result is a unique piece that cannot be reproduced.
