Photography of Inge Prader

Photographer Inge Prader has brought the glittering paintings of Gustav Klimt to life.

His latest series recreates some of the Austrian artist's most iconic works using live models. The sumptuous-looking images were taken for this year's Viennese Secessionist-

themed Life Ball 2015.

Prader's photographs are based on paintings from Klimt's Golden Phase (1899–1910), which often incorporated gold

leaf to stunning effect.
