Photographer Helga Paris, who captured daily life in Soviet Union-occupied East Berlin, has died at the age of 85. According to the DPA international,
'Every person emits something beautiful… What I find beautiful is to be open to the moment. This is exactly what I want people to feel when they look at my photos: to be open in order to see this particular moment.'Paris is one of few East German women who was recognized for her photography at the time of Soviet Union occupation in the country.Paris grew up with a passion for photography — after being inspired by her two aunts who were enthusiastic photographers.
Her work focused on people and streetscapes, initially in Berlin where many of her subjects were neighbors and friends. Paris often snapped the camera shutter before her sitters even realized — leaving little time for preparation, but brought an authenticity to each image. Paris also traveled outside of Berlin, shooting in Transylvania and Georgia. Paris said that no matter where she was, she tried to photograph everything “like a foreign city in a foreign country.”
