Early life and education
Thomas Ruff, one of six children, was born in 1958 in Zell am Harmersbach, Germany. After attending an evening class in photography basics, Ruff started to experiment, shooting photos that were not available in many amateur photography magazines in 1974.
Ruff created his approach of experimental serial photography during his studies in Düsseldorf and was inspired by Benjamin HD Buchloh's lectures. Ruff began photographing landscapes, but before he became a student, he moved to the interiors of German living quarters, with typical 1950s to 1970s features. These were followed by similar pictures of buildings and portraits of friends and acquaintances from the Düsseldorf art and music scene, which were first in small print.
Ruff studied photography from 1977 to 1985 with Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (Düsseldorf Art Academy), where fellow students included photographers Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Thomas Struth, Angelika Wengler, and Petra Wunderlich. In 1982, he spent six months at the Cité internationale des Arts in Paris. He was a scholar at Villa Massimo in Rome in 1993.
