Anja Wiroth : BE BERLIN, NEON, BMW catalogue, in Turin for ALFA ROMEO, Wikipedia founder for CONVENE MAG,...

For BE BERLIN and the fischerAppelt Furore agency, Norman KONRAD photographed the most friendly people that make Berlin the amazing city it is. Bus, tram and taxi drivers, to beautiful stewardesses, a charming concierge, the orange guys from the BSR city cleaning team and policemen, all of them starred in the Berlin campaign shoot. Norman and his team were exceptionally busy as the casting was carried out on the same day, just before the actual shoot.

There were two or three representatives for each professional group on location, a total of 60 people which were carefully led through the production (AW Agency) by Norman and his team comprising hairdresser and make-up artist Christiane Buchholz, and stylist Leena Zimmermann.

Norman KONRAD photographed the cover of the latest issue of NEON. The art director was Jonas Natterer, the model Juliane List. On top of which, he created a terrific picture puzzle titled “Which part of the car is this?”.

Marcus ALBERT is new at the Anja Wiroth agency, his clients include Olympus, Görtz, T-Mobile, BILD and Karstadt’s Inscene campaigns. His portfolio can be described as a young, effervescent and sexy visual language, sometimes rough, sometimes smooth, but always emotional and with a dose of humour.

Gregg SEGAL’s work is highly sought after and pictures from his Detrius series were sold during an exhibition to a renowned collector. It is also worth taking a look at his series of the best selling merchandise in the run up to the 2008 elections in the USA for FORTUNE Magazine. Everyone wanted to get their hands on an Obama or McCain mask, now everyone wants Gregg SEGAL’s images, who also worked for Digg.com, “The Hottest Small Company in America", realizing a portrait shot of the founder, Kevin Rose.
