Claas Cropp and his team supported Ellen von Unwerth at the shoot of a cover story for the German Vanity Fair with TOKIO HOTEL's singer Bill Kaulitz in Berlin.

The new SAMSUNG Series 6 LCD TV range was filmed with Michael Ballack and the campaign photos were also simultaneously produced in the London studio with Karel KÜHNE c/o GUNDA PATZKE. They also assisted Karel, with a campaign motif for a BRAUN coffee machine, followed by their third consecutive MINI collection catalogue production. Although it was Barcelona last Autumn, this time Berlin was the place location of choice. A European wide casting for BRAUN shavers was carried out in between, overlooked by Karel.

ESTHER HAASE photographed a special motif inspired by the Berlinale for BERLINER PILSENER.

Actor Matthias Schweighöfer was photographed by Celina von Mannstein for a PARK AVENUE editorial which celebrates the release of his movie “The Red Baron”. Another shoot for PARK AVENUE took place at Berlin’s “White Trash” with actresses Jana Palaske, Jette Müller and Anne von Keller. The series was produced by Jean-Francois CARLY c/o DANIELA WAGNER.

Again, due to the release of “The Red Baron” an editorial for VANITY FAIR was realized on former airport territory. This time it was photographed by Olaf Heine, who teamed up with Til Schweiger and Matthias Schweighöfer. A fashion editorial was shot in the studios of up-and-coming Berlin artists for the same magazine– the photographer was Julian Dufort.

Destination Studio Berlin was the directive, as Detlef Schneider realized the look book for ADIDAS ORIGINALS Spring / Summer collection '09. Sonja MÜLLER c/o KLAUS STIEGEMEYER created a campaign picture featuring national handball player Dominik Klein, for ADIDAS too.

The team supported GoSee Member HIEPLER, BRUNIER in Frankfurt / Main on location, as well as in the studio in Berlin for a SIEMENS production.

Özgur ALBAYRAK c/o KLAUS STIEGEMEYER had his finger on the button as he took a train ride straight through Germany. He was supported by the Class Cropp team and together they produced an editorial for the MONOCLE magazine.

An extensive NAVIGION campaign was created inside a Berlin movie studio by photographer Gregoire Alexandre (Agency: Kolle Rebbe). The reason why one would call it extensive was, that the entire set was constructed, making no use of digital imagery.

Another motif for the BERLINER BANK campaign was produced in Berlin by Piet Truhlar.

In cooperation with Pulse Production (LA), a pool shoot was produced for the NOKIA N SERIES in Berlin. The man behind the camera was Andreas Ackerup.
