Guglielmo Plüschow

Today, his photography is recognized for its artistic merits, but it generally is considered somewhat inferior to Gloeden's because of his less graceful handling of lighting and the sometimes strangely stilted poses of his models.

Initially making a living as a wine merchant, he soon turned to male and female nude photography.

In 1902, Plüschow, who was gay like Gloeden,[1] was charged with "common procuration" and "seduction of minors" and had to spend eight months in jail.

[2] The accusations caused the police to seize a lot of his photographs, while Vincenzo Galdi was considered his accomplice.

[3] In Steve Berman's short story "The Haferbräutigam" Plüschow has an encounter with a mischievous spirit while travelling back to Wismar in 1907.
