Behind the lens, German photographer Vanessa von Zitzewitz gave us a private tour, sharing anecdotes and comments.&#13;\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n\n<p>Because there is a story behind each picture. &#8220;This photo is very graphic, you can&#8217;t see the man, he&#8217;s almost like a machine.. I really like this one. I called it &#8216;Bye Bye Barcelona&#8217;, there&#8217;s almost\u00a0 a Flamenco feel to it, with that hand&#8230; This one is incredible, because wherever you stand, Michael&#8217;s gaze follows you&#8230; This one, with the old-fashioned telephone, is where it all began. Nothing is cropped out: we think about framing up front&#8230; I love this one because it was taken in Monaco. Schumacher is standing like a sculpture, like a rock. That&#8217;s him. That&#8217;s really him,&#8221; she says, her eyes glistening.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"693\" data-id=\"184353\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-voiture.jpg\" alt=\"vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-voiture\" class=\"wp-image-184353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-voiture.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-voiture-442x300.jpg 442w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"693\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"184337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-bye-bye-barcelona-693x1024.jpg\" alt=\"vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-bye-bye-barcelona\" class=\"wp-image-184337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-bye-bye-barcelona-693x1024.jpg 693w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-bye-bye-barcelona-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-bye-bye-barcelona.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"184341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-exposition-696x1024.jpg\" alt=\"vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-exposition\" class=\"wp-image-184341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-exposition-696x1024.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-exposition-204x300.jpg 204w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-exposition.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"696\" data-id=\"184349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-monaco.jpg\" alt=\"vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-monaco\" class=\"wp-image-184349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-monaco.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-monaco-440x300.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\"><p><em>Vanessa von Zitzewitz took many photographs of Michael Schumacher &#8211; \u00a9 Vanessa von Zitzewitz<\/em><\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>And all this work, Vanessa states, is not just in honour of the driver. &#8220;Through this exhibition, we have paid tribute to a person, an iconic figure for us.

The more famous the people were, the more punctual they were, and the more respectful they were.

We worked together for three days, at the Palace, outdoors, in the swimming pool, with the tiara\u2026 it all went really well. I had carte blanche, with her agreement, of course, and I had the idea of turning her Dior dress into a sort of dancer&#8217;s tutu. The Princess was fabulous, so professional ! She really went with it, it was incredible. I took a picture of her on the rocks, in front of the Oceanographic Museum, with her long dress. She looks like a mermaid coming out of the water.

The Sovereign looked at each photo, commented on the grain in the black and white ones \u2026 And\u00a0 it was funny, because\u00a0 Mika H\u00e4kkinen, the racing driver, was there as well. He was Schumacher&#8217;s great rival at the time, and there&#8217;s a photo of Schumacher pointing his glove at a screen that shows Mika&#8217;s race time.

Thanks to the book, I was able to raise half a million dollars, which I sent to the orphanage,&#8221; she says, with a touch of emotion in her voice.<\/p><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"765\" data-id=\"184361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-orphelins-thailande.jpg\" alt=\"vanessa-von-zitzewitz-orphelins-thailande\" class=\"wp-image-184361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-orphelins-thailande.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-orphelins-thailande-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"184373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-slaughter-angels-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"vanessa-von-zitzewitz-slaughter-angels\" class=\"wp-image-184373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-slaughter-angels-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-slaughter-angels-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-slaughter-angels.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"184325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-anges-abattoir-696x1024.jpg\" alt=\"vanessa-von-zitzewitz-anges-abattoir\" class=\"wp-image-184325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-anges-abattoir-696x1024.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-anges-abattoir-204x300.jpg 204w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-anges-abattoir.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\"><p><em>\u00ab Slaughterhouse Angels \u00bb, by Vanessa von Zitzewitz \u2013 \u00a9 Vanessa von Zitzewitz<\/em><\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p><p>Speaking of emotion, it is what guides Vanessa during her photo sessions. Hence the almost systematic use of black and white. &#8220;The subject is much more important in black and white photos. If I had done an exhibition on Schumacher and Ferrari in colour, all you would see would be red. We wouldn&#8217;t see his gaze. The colour detracts from the subject, and the emotion I&#8217;m trying to capture. These days, there aren&#8217;t many positive emotions. The world is violent. So I hope that, through my photographs, I can provide a few positive moments for the people who look at them,&#8221;she says.<\/p><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-photographie-un-art-a-defendre\">Photography: an art that needs support<\/h2>\n\n<p>Given her impressive record, it is hard to imagine that Vanessa von Zitzewitz did not originally set out to be a photographer. She got into the eighth art while studying graphic art at Parsons School of Design in the United States, purely by chance. &#8220;Photo classes were compulsory, and to be honest, I wasn&#8217;t very enthusiastic. But very quickly, the teacher told me I had an eye, that I saw things other people didn&#8217;t. A year later, I published my first book. I was only 22\/23 years old and it was a very big project for Cartier. It was pure coincidence, to be honest. I was lucky to have that teacher. I think we&#8217;re all gifted at something, and we find out what it is sooner or later.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p><p>Vanessa is passionate about her art and is sad to have watched it develop &#8220;the wrong way.&#8221; &#8220;Back then we were consumed by our work. When you see all these people on Instagram who say they&#8217;re photographers, it&#8217;s laughable. My hands would be covered in chemicals, I developed my negatives, my pictures\u2026 I know how to use a camera properly; they just press a button. The general public doesn&#8217;t always appreciate the difference between photos that have been thought through, worked on and printed in a certain way, and therefore have a certain price tag, and photos taken on a phone. Real photography is still a high-quality product. I learned this profession through my hands, sweat and chemicals.&#8221;<\/p><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"696\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher.jpg\" alt=\"vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher\" class=\"wp-image-184357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanessa-von-zitzewitz-michael-schumacher-440x300.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p><em>Like Michael Schumacher, Vanessa von Zitzewitz lives &#8220;full throttle&#8221; &#8211; \u00a9 Vanessa von Zitzewitz<\/em><\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>However the photographer is happy to share some advice for all those who would like to get into photography. &#8220;They should find a subject that they are passionate about. I couldn&#8217;t have made my book on horses if I hadn&#8217;t been a rider, for example. If you really want to get into a subject and show the flip side of it, to create interesting work, you have to be passionate about what you photograph. That&#8217;s vital,&#8221; says Vanessa.<\/p><\/p>\n\n<p>And when she is asked, &#8220;which celebrity do you dream of photographing ?&#8221;, the answer is immediate, but unfortunately impossible : &#8220;Romy Schneider. I would really have loved\u00a0 to photograph her. She was the most beautiful woman who ever lived, and I don&#8217;t think I would ever have got tired of working with ever. I am a Romy Schneider fan, 100%.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>Despite this regret, and after all these years, her passion is still intact. And all Vanessa von Zitzewitz wants is to continue to experience her photo shoots \u2013 and her life \u2013 &#8220;full throttle&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vanessa
