Corporate Video for german bakery “Konditorei Krönner” in Weilheim

KroennerToday I proudly present a corporate video for a german bakery called “Konditorei Krönner”, which is based in Weilheim. In their post-war bakery they produce jummy hand-made pastries. The film will be shown in their sales room behind the shop window. It shows you how they make chocolate truffles, cake decoration, apple turnovers and a pyramid cake. My job was camera work and editing, Felix Scheidl was the executive producer. You can find it in the updated FILM section. Have fun watching and getting hungry!!

If you’re hungry afterwards, check Marmita’s website!

India project “Two views of India” now online!

In April I went on a three-week trip to India where I tested my new lomography sprocket rocket. The results are amazing, so I don’t want to keep them away from the public. You can find them in the documentary gallery.

I want to thank my tutor Mr. Demuth for helping me sort out the right pictures and the journalist Felix Scheidl, who accompanied me on the trip.

Romanticism-Project with student of Prinzregenten-Theatre Munich

Hey guys!

I’ve been a fan of romantic pantings for quite a while and was very happy to work with make-up-artist Sybille Schaller on a Romanticism-Project. She designed masks in the romantic style after the english horror tale “Melmoth the Wanderer” from 1820. A big thank you to model Sascha for mimicking Melmoth and model Julia who transformed into Immalee. Check out the photos in the Advertising Gallery! =)

Photo-Strip for Spiesser with Rick Kavanian

Since the 1st of December the new Spiesser Magazine is out! For the current issue I provided a photo strip with Rick Kavanian. He visited a 10th grade class from his former school and held a lesson about American comedy culture that turned out to be politically interesting, because he disputed about integration in Germany. Rick is a great guy and everything else than the joker everyone knows from TV. His sharp-witted lesson proved him a comedian with political interest. For those who want to read more, here is the article “A product of integration” and here you can read the whole Spiesser issue online.

Cheers!

Fashion-Shoot for “Skiing”-Magazine


For the November issue of the German Magazine “Skiing” I did a 2-day Fashion-Shooting in Munich. The models Tobias, Anna-Lena, Jan and Nicole (left to right) did a great job! Especially the laundromat was eye candy for my hungry eyes, a great THANK YOU for the owner who let us shoot there without any hesitation!! How gorgeous the skiing-clothes look on the models you can see in my editorial-portfolio very soon! And, of course, in the latest issue of “Skiing Magazine“!

SPIESSER publication – disputation about military duty in Germany

Once again I provided the SPIESSER-magazine with pictures. This time, I documented a disputation between a civillian servant and a military servant. The impulse to this argumentation was that the German government considers to abolish the military duty and with that the civillian service as well. They both disputed about the abolishment, cons and pros of their education and personal stories. The whole picture gallery can you see here, the latest issue of the magazine you find here.

There is also a video which I shot together with author Felix Scheidl accompanying the interview to see here or on the Website www.spiesser.de

SPIESSER Publication

During a starry summer night I had a photoshoot with author Felix Scheidl who is writing for the “spiesser”-magazine, a german giveaway paper for pupils. The picture for a special, where he is standing under a lantern, can be seen in the latest issue of the magazine or on http://www.spiesser.de/node/549/

My first publication. Wohoo! Some more will hopefully follow in the near future.

Everyday Vampire-Shooting

Because of the global “Twilight” hype I thought: why not use the vampire-style as an instrument of advertising? I intended to advertise every-day clothes with the help of familiar vampire-poses and make-up. I was supported by many girlfriends who opened their closets for me (because I needed everday-clothes for the two women). Also by designer label Benzaghi&Freymann, which provided for the lad’s sexy and shimmering clothes. A big THANK YOU also for the great Make-Up-Artist Christina Wagner who did a very good job in transforming our models into vampires. I also want to thank my assistant Corinna Degele and the models Katerina, Carolin and Dennis.

You can see some of the photos in the Advertising Gallery

Alice-Shooting

In collaboration with designer Jennifer Fischbacher I had a fashion shoot called “Alice in Wonderland”; In this case, the wonderland was a club in Munich called NY Club. Huge Thanks to Model Steffie, Assistant Yannick Schmidt, Make-Up Artist Aleksandra Suvajac and the Designer and her assistant Magdalena Czerny.
