Peter Cornelius (1913–1970) was a German photographer and photojournalist.
Biography
After World War II, Cornelius restarted his career in "reportage, landscape and sailing photography" in his hometown of Kiel. Beginning in 1956, he specialised in colour photography as one of the first color photographers in Germany. In 1960 he became known to a larger public through the special exhibition Magie der Farbe (Magic of Color) during the Photokina in Cologne. The other photographers exhibited were Walter Boje, Erwin Fieger and Heinz Hajek‐Halke. His best known work is a 1961 collection of color photographs of Paris, titled Farbiges Paris.[1]
