Photographer Harry WEBER was commissioned by Jung von Matt in Hamburg and client BASE to convey a whole story about people and their emotions in just one shot.

He was briefed to accompany the filming of the TV commercial, and to capture the actors’ expressions of sheer horror when they saw their (not BASE) mobile phone bills. The German campaign’s art direction was carried out by Shahira Youssef, the art buying by Bianca Winter.

The new BITBURGER print campaign was photographed by Christian SCHMIDT, the star of the campaign is expert brewer Dr. Georg Stettner. The team included : art director Axel Schilling, art buyer Susanne Nagel (both c/o Jung von Matt), producer Eric Locke, stylist Huidi Lauhoff and the recom post producers).

The HÄUSER magazine editors commissioned photographer Ulrich HOPPE with a garden furniture production, which took place at Anroechte in Westphalia, Germany. 

Oscar VAN DE BEEK went on a 10 day trip to the USA in February. The motifs are gradually, one by one, leaving post production and entering his portfolio.

Car, landscape and architecture photographer Steffen SCHRÄGLE, from Freudenstadt in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, is a new addition to the agency’s books. In addition to his productions in Germany, he also spends a lot of time in America, Japan and Spain. His clients include countless large car brands such as Porsche, Nissan and Renault, for whom he has realized several CGI motifs.

Steffen has also made a name for himself in the architecture photography sector. He recently won the Gruner + Jahr Photo Award, with his motifs from Norway and Tokyo. We have attached the winning shots.

Besides commercial photography, Steffen often makes trips to the most far-flung corners of the earth. The touring exhibitions of his photographs of exile camps in Afghanistan and orphans in Cairo have met with international acclaim.
