Gaby Herbstein Photographer, Stylist, Theatrical Imaginer

Gaby Herbstein was born in Argentina in May, 1969, and currently lives there with her husband and two daughters. She is a photographer with a natural flair for  being both creatively lavish and theatrical in her approach to photographing a subject.

She generates most of her production at her studio in Buenos Aires, along with a supporting team of artists and professionals for her projects. For the last twenty years she has worked in advertising photography focused on fashion and beauty, and her own artistic endeavors.

Her transgressive vision turned her into a coveted artist to create brand image for firms such as L’Oreal, Procter & Gamble, Dove, Sedal, Lux, Telcel, Sony, FTV (among others) and several fashion companies from Argentina and Latin America.

Until 2008 she has been featured in fifteen solo shows, at Art Basel, Art Miami, Chelsea Gallery, Broward Center of Performing Arts, MALBA, Centro Cultural Recoleta, Museo Metropolitano, Palais de Glace, Centro Cultural Borges. She manages to create some dark and strikingly different imagery.

Her personal ventures in the last thirteen years concentrate on issues she cares about  – HIV prevention, ecology, assessment of Argentinean aboriginal culture, Argentinean women unrecognized by History, among others – that she shapes in calendars on behalf of different charities. I love this series concentrating on the themes of dreams and childs’ play, what an amazing film this could make.
