More Mohr Mannequins

Day 2 of our lovely Easter photo session: With the help of a laser canon, we fixed a series of differently painted mannequin heads to the same position. This way I took pictures to produce a stop-motion-animation showing the range of surface revisions done by Mohr Models
Another slide animation with a group of mannequins will reveal the enormous variety of mannequins to rent for fashion stores, trade shows, movies, etc.

Mohr Models key visuals

This week we are capturing the key-visuals of leading display mannequin service provider Mohr Models. During a two-day-long photo-session I shoot the key business fields of the company. 
Thanks to my assistant Katrin Schempp ( and me ; – )  ) for providing some neat making-of pictures of our studio-shooting: 

 

 Owner Jan Wegener and junior art director Paul are preparing the e-shop-mannequin, a Mohr Model innovation for easier online-shop fashion display:

PetiteBox Making Of

Here are some impressions of last week’s people-shooting for the new service PetiteBox: People in this case means cute babies, young mothers and pregnant women. Apart from a father and a “courier”-model I was the only man with a team of roughly 8-10 girls. A tough job! 

The photo production took place in the Amano apartments on Rosenthaler Straße, Berlin. 

Thanks a lot to Tanja Henning (Hair & Make Up), Katrin (first assistant), Nicole (2nd assistant ;) , Dorina (Mobilé and Styling), Tanné (Styling), Susanne (Art Direction) and all those other ladies behind and in front of the camera!!! 

 

And here is a nice series of making of photos taken by my assistant Katrin Schempp:

City Beach Life fashion shooting

A summer fashion shooting at the urban beaches of Barcelona: In Spain, even in winter the sun offers summerly looks. So we did a summer campaign for the Catalan streetwear label SPRT last week. Cool urban styles were mixed with old school California surf and contemporary skate flavor.

Model Pol in the “post surf” situation, getting help by my charming hair & make up artist Ana Vergara:

Our spot for a “bicycle trip” attracted some sun-hungry natives:

The cactus garden – menswear shooting in Barcelona

On Barcelona’s famous city hill Montjuic you can find the fantastic “Cactus Garden”. For Grisby‘s classic suit line, we occupied this beautiful location and shot the summer lookbook. The giant cactuses and bizarre palm trees gave an interesting contrast to the fine menswear fashion. 

Model Marc got a nice sun tan during the session…

 

…as well as our charming hair & make up artist Ana Vergara – here pimping up Marc while getting filmed by Bernat for the making-of video:

  

While Marc got into the next outfit… 

… I benefitted from the break by taking some nice nature photos:

 

 

 

7Yards lookbook shooting in Barcelona

After three weeks of fashion trade shows in Berlin, Barcelona and Madrid, I finally came back to actually shoot fashion: This sunday I did the lookbook for Barcelona’s progressive but minimalist menswear brand 7 Yards (by Grisby) up in the Montjuic. Now, lots of selecting and post-production ahead…
