I shot the autumn/winter 2011/12 ad campaign & lookbook for the Munich based leather luxury label Live & Love last week. Live & Love stands for only the finest leather RTW & couture made in Germany. The quality of their leather (they’re using mostly nappa & salmon) is as outstanding as their designs (by creative duo Zoé Verhosin & Janina Stanic).
You’ll be able to see the whole collection soon, until then I’ll post just one of the campaign pictures and a couple of behind-the-scenes shots.
Thanks to the whole team for this great shoot, i.e. all the cool people at Live & Love, Daniela Schatz for the make-up & hair, Lorand Lajos for the styling, our models Yuliya T. (PS-Models) and Stefan Mirbeth (TALENTS Models), Chiara Padovan for the assistance & Simon Wächter for filming the making-of.
I was shooting an ad for my fav champagne bar Nektar & Ambrosia yesterday – it’s probably my fastest production ever: shoot, selection, post processing… all done in a long 14-hrs day… here’s the main picture:
This one is an outtake, but I think it’s quite nice so we’ve retouched it for our book:
Thanks to the whole team:
Chiara Padovan: assistance & retouch
Maren Endraß: make-up
our models Judith, Mara, Valentina & Christian Ohlenroth
and starring on the left side of the main picture: Zoë & Nicolai, the hosts of this marvellous place!
Thanks guys for this funny shoot! – And btw, this one to prove that all the French Champagne was indeed REAL, no dirty still-life tricks involved ;D …
… i.e. we had TONS OF FUN …
… so even waiting wasn’t as boring as usual on long production days!
……. you def should come over for a drink guys, it’s worth it! À votre santé!
I just came back from Mainz where I had a big shoot at the Staatstheater for my friend Stephen Delattre yesterday – he’s not only an amazingly talented dancer, but also an outstanding choreographer. His new program “Poetry Takes Form” will be put on stage next march in Mainz – and I strongly recommend all of my readers to watch it; from what I’ve seen during our shoot, Stephen’s show will be a poetical, sophisticated and so entertaining ballett experience.
Of course I can’t show too much of the actual choreography here, so I’ve selected a few snapshots that show that our 12-hrs photoshoot was not only hard work (you have approximately a one-hundredth second to catch just the perfect pose of a speedy ballett figure), but also huge fun!
Dancers: Cristina Ayllón, Antonin Comestaz, Stéphen Delattre, Martyn Garside, Anne Jung, Prêle Mainfroy

Rehearsal for the main ad picture
Shooting the main ad – can’t let out more about it than this small pic – check back in december to see the secret uncovered 
Solo shots
Steph showing the figures
Checking the pictures…
Beware of the masked folks!
That’s the way dancers are relaxing during a break…
… and that’s the way photographers are shooting during a break!
And frankly said, the iPhone doesn’t cause you a tennis ellbow… the 70-200 tele lens CAN after heavy (ab-)use!

Make-up for the last shoot
Irresistible! 
Pictures pictures pictures……… more is coming here in january 2011!
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.
