He worked in Paris and his signature photography became known in the 1910s and was published through the mid-1930s by such firms as Alfred Noyer, Les Studios, P-C Paris, and the Neue Photographische Gesellschaft. His models are often found in highly arranged classical poses. Mandel was highly influenced by the volkisch naturalist movements of Germany, that harkened back to an earlier romanticism in the face of an environment degraded by industrialization and urban sprawl. He placed many of his models in outdoor settings to tie the natural state of the nude to the purity of the land. Much of his work was turned into real photo postcards, both black & white and tinted. Though published through the studios of Alfred Noyer, Les Studios, P-C Paris, and the Neue Photographische Gesellschaft, his full name usually appears on the front of these cards.
