Michael Miklas : sexy VOLKSWAGEN LEASING calendar, campaign motifs for VOLKSWAGEN INSURANCE SERVICE, VOLKSWAGEN BANK DIRECT and personal work

Because VOLKSWAGEN LEASING is the vanguard when it comes to ecologically friendly vehicle fleets, this year's calendar turned out to be all natural. And 1,000 selected clients will experience just how natural it is on a monthly basis.

Six models from EASTWEST MODELS as well as some exotic animals enjoyed posing for the calendar shoot. Working with a young cheetah turned out to be a unique experience. It was the wild cat's first time in front of a camera, which was handled by Michael Miklas in his photo studio.

Nico Mühlan of Gobasil Hannover was the creative director. ASTRID Glänzel, SABINE Wicker and Nick Assfalg took care of the hair and make-up. TANIA Hohenhövel, PINNY Daniel and SHIRIN Abbas, all c/o LIGANORD carried our the styling. Make-up artist Iris Kaiser was also part of the team.
Post production by ELEKTRONISCHE SCHÖNHEIT.

Michael also photographed this year's campaign motif for the VOLKSWAGEN INSURANCE SERVICE insurance swapping event and the cover motifs for the VOLKSWAGEN BANK DIRECT relaunch product leaflets, all for the Gingco.net agency. Sascha Naß was the AD on both productions.

The black & white images stem from a personal series. The pictures form the foundation of a photography project dubbed 'Back to Black', which is scheduled for release in 2011.
