Traska Photographers : Felix Magath and the DZ-BANK AG, BAYER/LEFAX, beauties for DOVE VISIBLE CARE, POST FINANCE, CITROEN & BMW, exhibitors at the UPdate10 in Frankfurt

Felix Magath is the new testimonial of ENITEO.de, the derivative portal of the DZ-BANK AG. Ralf GELLERT photographed the trainer and manager of Schalke 04.

Magath is both the consultant and decision maker in the new campaign realised by Serviceplan Hamburg. The motifs can be admired in popular German newspapers and financial magazines, as well as on the Internet and on various finance sites.

CD Matthias Mittermüller headed the creation, JULIA Franken c/o TOP AGENCE perfected the hair and make-up. Folkert Eggen, Hamburg was in charge of the styling.

What do cheerleaders do when they feel bloated? Ralf GELLERT explored this and similar situations in his production for client BAYER/LEFAX and the BBDO Düsseldorf agency. The results are three campaign motifs, which we are pleased to present on GoSee. Jake Shaw headed the creation, Eva à Wengen was responsible for the art buying. Flavouredgreen took care of the digital postproduction of both jobs.

Conrad PIEPENBURG travelled to Barcelona for BMW, where he photographed some commercial motifs. GoSee presents a selection of the results. The commission was made by BMW direct. The postproduction was carried out by PIQTURE, Hamburg.

Felix MATTHIES was commissioned by with Interone Hamburg various motifs for the DOVE VISIBLE CARE range. The shoot was realised in accordance with Dove’s continuous ‘initiative for true beauty’; without ‘real’ models and any kind of image manipulation or postproduction. Even the make-up application remained rather minimal. We have attached the first refreshing motifs from the series.

Torsten KLINKOW was on the road for CITROEN once more and travelled around half of the globe in near record-breaking time. The team set off for the USA from Paris, where they shot backgrounds for the brand new DS3. The next stop was Barcelona, where they worked with the Spanish team and a host of models. Torsten then shot the final single images with a bit of weather luck in Germany. Torsten also presents some free work, which he realised during his job in the USA.

At the start of the year, Sven HEINRICH escaped the persistent frosty winter climate and shot four new visual worlds in South Africa for POST FINANCE, Switzerland. The team’s relaxed and at ease approach is captured in the fresh motifs, which are full of a lust for life attitude and were realised on a 12 day shoot in Cape Town. The production was a sheer pleasure, thanks to the great collaboration with Marlene Oberteufer on the client side, Art Director Tom Kees, Monika Leu (Beratung) and EPISODE MEDIA. We have attached a selection from the first ‘Students’ series.

The KNSK advertising agency, Hamburg booked Stefan RICHTER to realise two campaign motifs for KUNST MAGAZIN, published by Kunst Verlag Berlin. Senior Art Director Bill Yom was in charge of creation, joined by Art Buyer Julia Gaentzsch. Stefan realised yet another production for OLYMPUS, we will present the results here shortly.

We have also attached an additional commercial motif, shot by Thomas MOTTA for VW COMMERCIAL VEHICLES. The commission was provided by Grabarz und Partner in Hamburg. Gösta Diehl, together with AD Thomas Schmiegel and AB Anna Simdon, supervised the creation. Venessa Celicovic conceived the styling and ISABEL Peters c/o BIGOUDI applied the make-up. ADD PRODUKTION, Hamburg, carried out the production.

DDB Düsseldorf booked Dominik PIETSCH to photograph commercial motifs for CONGSTAR mobile networks. CD Philipp Böttcher headed the creation, meanwhile Franziska Scholz and Dominika Zajac were in charge of the art direction and Anette Grütter of art buying. Suzanne Harkämper arranged the styling and Gesine Mierau provided the hair and make-up skills.

Tom MENZ photographed a ‘dwarf land’ concept – see photos attached.

And last but not least, GoSee presents a fashion series by Christoph LOEB, which can currently be admired in OK! MAGAZINE. The motifs were photographed in Cape Town. Nadine Najjar took care of the styling.

This year TRASKA PHOTOGRAPHERS and the portfolios of their artists can once again be caught up with in person at the UPdate on 14 May 10 in Frankfurt.
