New client R. STAHL AG

Here is my latest work for a brand new client.
R. STAHL AG is a major supplier in the field of explosion protection products and solutions (company´s own description). A medium-sized company in the south of Germany.

I had the pleasure to portray the company´s chairman-of-the-board for the actual annual report.

Working with wagneralliance as the responsible communication agency for this job was exciting as well. They did a great performance with a modern and stylish annual report for R. STAHL AG which has been brillantly designed by creative director Almut Riebe with whom I have collaborated for many years now.

Grooming by lovely Rahel Täubert.

The pictures show an excerpt of the Annual Report 2020 and some further shots of the production.

Joachim Rehkämper for VAPIANO

I know the Vapiano story is not the very best to tell. Anyway, I would rather like to talk about this picture. I was asked by a Hamburg based advertising agency to do these images in Cologne. They asked me because I had been recommended to them by my dear friend and blogger Beate Finken. I will get back to that story in one of my upcoming posts.

They checked my portfolio and fortunately seemed to like my way of doing portraits and then finally booked me. Yet I wasn´t sure what to expect in Cologne me and my assistant packed the car with almost every kind of equipment I could probably be using on location. When we arrived at the spot we had a short briefing with the artdirector and I asked him for his idea how the images should look like. He smiled and replied that he booked me for my ideas. Alright, I told my assistant to get the black background cloth out of the car. The rest of the stuff remained unpacked. I used the huge window in my back as a main light. That´s it. I love those jobs when really everyone is happy. I drove home with a grin on my face. My assistant fell asleep immediately from dealing with heavy equipment.

Maybe you notice that.

Business as usual? Same same but different.

I really love doing business portraits. They often look similar but you have to consider the details. As a photographer I am always in charge of creating the best result for my clients. Well, the client pays for that promise and definitely expects highest output.

Here are some examples of images I did for Braun & Westenberger Immobilienbewertung, located in Frankfurt.

I still like that old-fashioned white or monochromatic cardboard background. The character of your model seemingly turns out stronger and the concentration on each face makes the picture even more interesting - and in some cases indeed mysterious.

It's been a while. Welcome 2021. Let´s face new opportunities.

Well then, the year 2020 has not been very friendly to the most of us. Let´s forget about that. There were difficult months of not knowing exactly where this road might lead us and if some of us might overcome this time at all. Anyway, 2020 didn't end up too bad for me and I could actually gain new clients.

Here's a quick sample and some shots for KGS Software GmbH ,an IT company located in the Frankfurt/Main area. The images were photographed in September 2020 at the clients' location and considering highest hygienic issues.

Classical business photography for an amazing new client and with a fantastic supporting team.

New client RMV

Here´s my latest series for my new client RMV (Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund) in cooperation with Deutsche Bahn AG. I had the privilege to cover a classical concert held up in an unusual and rather atmospheric location. It was an awesome experience for me and I would like to thank those fantastic musicians to perform on this special event.
