Andrea Heberger : PANASONIC news, products by designer ANDREAS OSTWALD, STEIFF kids S/S Collection, MITOSYL motifs and City Kids - a free portrait series

Anselm GAUPP photographed new PANASONIC products for their main 2010 catalogue. The Hamburg-based photographer realised the interior motifs, which focus on the latest Panasonic goods, at his studio in a commission for Bethmann Design.

Besides a production for IKEA Family and the Grabarz & Partner agency, Anselm shot new products by Hamburg-based designer ANDREAS OSTWALD in an exciting juxtaposition between light and dark: the Alva lamp by Zumtobel and the Callita chair were on set.

Paris-based photographer Gerard HARTEN photographed the STEIFF S/S Collection. Kathrin Lezinsky carried out the styling and HEIKE Ax c/o AGENTUR ROUGE took care of the hair and make-up.

Gerard’s baby images were shot in Paris for MITOSYL.

CITY KIDS. In her latest portrait series, Mareen FISCHINGER presents an expressive group of different Düsseldorf kids personalities.

The series surpasses our expectations; rather than presenting clichéd city kids, that are impossible to separate from their games consoles, TV and social network sites – it takes the viewer back to their own childhood, where exploring and a love of adventures were the top priorities.

Mareen’s images are slightly melancholic in style, as a city childhood may toughen you up at an early age but also comes with its disadvantages.

Birte Dargel perfected the hair and make-up, Jennifer C. Muhrenc was in charge of styling and Stefan Tüshaus was the on-set assistant.
