Beyer (actually Klaus Günter Beyer; * March 6, 1922 in Weimar; 2007) was a German photographer. Beyer's parents were Günther Beyer (19881965), head of the Thuringian State Photo Agency from 1934 to 1945, and Helena Beyer (18891973). He was drafted into the Wehrmacht and served in World War II as a soldier. After returning from captivity, he completed an apprenticeship as a photographer from 1946 to 1948. From then on, he worked as a photographer with a photo studio in Weimar. In 1958, he earned a master's degree in photography. From 1980 he held a teaching position at the Weimar University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, specializing in architectural and object photography of artistic objects. He was the first foreigner to be officially commissioned by the Indian government to photograph the Taj Mahal. Beyer's photographs were published in over 110 books between 1958 and 1987 alone, many of them illustrated books. From 1960 to 1984, Beyer undertook working trips to Bulgaria, India, Poland, Romania, the USSR, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. From 1966 to 2003 alone, Beyer's photographs were shown in almost 40 exhibitions at home and abroad, including in 1982 at the Weimar Galerie Roter Turm ("Camera + Art. Klaus G. Beyer on his 60th Birthday") and from 1977 to 1988 at the 8th to 10th Art Exhibitions of the GDR.
