In a rich town like Salzburg, beggars are considered as a problem one can solve by
forbidding them to beg. To counter this point of view, potraits of a group of beggars were
taken in a studio environment. By showing their actual faces, one should regard them as
human beings again.

The master-class photographer Joachim Bergauer was born on 12.07.1965 in Schwarzach (Salzburg). The entrance to the advertising industry was the result of the photography in his adolescence. The artist also gained journalistic experience while working at the austrian boulevard during his long lasting function as a press photographer.

In the 1990’s, Joachim Bergauer founded his establishment. He’s specialised to image-, advertising-, and art-photography. Ever since, the salzburg citizen is commonly booked by various advertising agencies and magazines (New York Times, Spiegel an many more)
