Gunter Sachs (1932–2011) was a German photographer, industrialist, and art collector. Known for his glamorous lifestyle and high-profile relationship with Brigitte Bardot, Sachs later became a respected figure in the world of photography and modern art. His work, often focused on beauty and form, was exhibited internationally and remains celebrated for its distinctive style and bold visual language.
