I just came across Brigitte Niedermair’s work today, and my first thought was that Robert Mapplethorpe had been reincarnated. More information and image gallery after the jump.

This is the only information I could gather on Niedermair:
Originally form the southern Tyrol, Brigitte Niedermair has shown her creative talents since adolescence, at first in painting and drawing before dedicating herself to photography at the age of 20, and her speciality of female portraits.
A self taught artist, Brigitte Niedermair has been working principally in fashion since 2000, composing her photographs as if they were paintings.
Throughout her work, both personal and commercial, she questions the feminine condition. Examining traditions, religions and modernity, and applying this to such subjects as abortion and artificial insemination, she proposes a dual vision between the sacred and the profane, asceticism and eroticism, cutural heritage and emancipation..
