Making-of: Fashion, Design & Craftsmanship

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Making-of Atelier Gerner

The main part of Hans-Peter Gerner’s new autumn/winter campain focusses on the aspects of tradition, craft and handwork that lie in every piece of his outstanding collection. We decided not to shoot with a professional fashion model this time and worked with Natalie Gerner who is the head of Gerner’s tailoring atelier.
Craftsmanship, authenticity, aesthetics, quality, and passion for the detail – that’s what this photoshoot was about – can’t await to post the finished pictures!

Making-of: NORDENFELDT Lookbook S/S 2011

Nordenfeldt S/S 2011 Lookbook Shoot

We were shooting the NORDENFELDT spring/summer 2011 lookbook yesterday in Munich. It was an awesome production using a “quick & dirty” ringflash technique that made the images look like accidental streetshots of a variety of typical city scenes. The focus was on the boots, so the pictures had to come across like anonymous “snapshots” (a pity we had to cut Val’s beautiful face). But at the same time they had to tell a story of a typical day of our Nordenfeldt girl’s big city life.

Here are just some impressions from the first couple of set, there’s a lot more in the actual lookbook which I’ll post here as soon as it will be printed.

Making-of: kafka & tecleab – Modestrecke für den UNICUM Verlag im Gaswerk Augsburg

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Making-of: Fashion Editorial

Gestern war’s nun soweit: Ich habe die Modestrecke geschossen, die ursprünglich als Seminar an der Uni Augsburg geplant gewesen war und vor einem Monat für diesen Skandal gesorgt hatte. Nachdem ich meine Lehrtätigkeit dann als Konsequenz daraus beendet hatte (obwohl mir nach wie vor nicht verständlich ist, was an dem Projekt z.B. “hochgradig sexistisch” gewesen sein soll, so ein Vorwurf der Frauenbeauftragten damals in der Presse), habe ich das Projekt nun mit ca. 20 Praktikanten/-innen fertig gestellt anstatt mit ca. 20 Studierenden.

Special Thanks to:
- Martina Fromme & Jan Thiemann vom UNICUM Verlag (Bochum) für die Offenheit gegenüber einem innovativen Projekt
- Sigrid Kafka & Nazret Tecleab von kafka&tecleab für die tatkräftige praktische und kreative Unterstützung allen Konzeptions- und Realisierungsphasen
- den Stadtwerken Augsburg für  die großartige Location
- unseren Models Anja, Susanna, Wanja & Richard, ihr wart fantastisch gut und es war eine Freude mit euch zu shooten!
- Maren Endraß für für die umwerfenden Make-ups und Frisuren
- Chiara Padovan & Maria Justus für  die super Assistenz
- allen Studierenden / Praktikanten für die engagierte Arbeit von der ersten Idee bis zur Umsetzung

Die Strecke erscheint im November in den Lifestyle-Magazinen UNIQUEEN und UNIKING und wird an jedem Campus zu finden sein. Wohl auch in Augsburg.

Erstes Fotoset: das Ofenhaus im Gaswerk, optimale Location durch die enorme Höhe und die vielen Metallträger. Für die räumliche Aufteilung des Fotohintergrunds sorgen Baumwollstreifen, die die Praktikanten zwischen den Säulen spannen. Besten Dank an Strenesse für das Textil-Sponsoring!

Relativ einfaches, aber sehr spannendes Lichtsetting: brilliantes Fashion-Licht durch den Broncolor PARA FB mit Ringblitz, einige weitere Blitzköpfe (auf den Bildern nicht zu sehen) setzen Akzente im Hintergrund.

Das Glück der richtigen Stunde: wunderschöne Sonnenspiele auf Boden und Wänden durch die riesigen Fabrikfenster, die wir teilweise in unsere Fotos mit einbauen konnten

Behind the scenes at MARSART shooting

I was shooting a huge photo story with four dancers last saturday at this wonderful place of Olli Marschall who does those amazing wood sculptures. It will take some time until the whole set will be published, in the meantime I’ll just post a few behind-the-scenes shots.
Among the models: Natalia Fioroni (from Toronto, currently at Stadttheater Augsburg); Lucyna Zwolinska (currently in Augsburg, soon in Saarbrücken); and my creative genius Stephen Delattre (Mainz), it was already the 4th time I was working with him.

“Rock Chic” – Fashion Editorial Shoot Behind-the-Scenes

"Rock Chic" - Thomas Sing Fashion Editorial Shoot Behind-the-Scenes

Full house on Easter Monday! 8 people, 1 dog, a ton of clothes and accessoires & a huge table covered with make-up stuff – best premises for our fashion editorial shooting! Theme was “Rock Chic(k)”, since this is pretty beyond any season we could combine lots of A/W 2010 clothes and some cool S/S 2010 stuff, plus some stylish vintage pieces and one of a kind designs by stylist Lorand Lajos. We came up with 15(!) outfits in the end, so there’s a lot to select and edit now. After all the highly planned jobs lately, it was great to go for some clear & minimalistic style, focusing on fashion and attitude with a plain white studio wall as background. Thanks to all people involved who helped turning a rather spontaneous shoot into something huge. I’ll submit the whole story to a couple of good magazines asap. But here is a little behind-the-scenes preview.

Absolutely gorgeous (not only!) in front of the lens: Maria, Valerie & Jana
Styling: Lorand Lajos & Chiara Padovan
Make-up & Hair: Maren Endraß
Maren’s Assistant: Tina Greifenegger
Photography: Thomas Sing

Moi, shooting with my fav Nikon (D3x) and a Broncolor Para FB 220 with ringflash & Scoro A4s generator. I am not getting paid for saying this: I’m working with Bron for 3 years now and can assure you that it is not only best lighting equipment regarding quality, but also the most reliable that I ever used: I have some old lamp-heads that have reached a couple of 100.000’s of flashes and still work like new ones. On the 3rd pic: make-up-artist Maren Endraß.

Studio Ghost

There was a ghost in my studio today…
this picture isn’t edited in any way! — I’ve shot it by accident during an artistic experimental shoot using the zoom ring instead of the focus ring on my lens.
