Anja Wiroth : MERCEDES BENZ, El Pionero for PIONEER!, German Hairdresser Award, VW TOURAN, illustrations for TOYOTA MAGAZIN & SPANAIR

TILL LEESER is conquering Asia. He joined forces with Jung von Matt to photograph the luxury of the E-CLASS limousines for BBAC Beijing Benz Automotiv Co.

PIONEER! Was founded in Hungary, but there are also branches in Argentina and Uruguay. Manuel ARCHAIN photographed the new ‘El Pionero’ product campaign over there for the local market. Art Director Juanito Jaureguiberry’s came up with the concept of depicting a typical Argentinean shop trailer in a magical setting.

Sonja GUTSCHERA and Leif OSTHOFF teamed up with hairstylist Sven Henninges of Aveda and make-up artist Lyn Kato c/o VIVA STYLE for a German Hairdresser Award production. Hair extensions and fake lashes – totally on trend this summer. Their ‘fleurs-Editorial’ with model Anu c/o M4 MODELS is a massive hit on TheOnes2Watch online magazine. Floriana Gavriel carried out the styling and Selina Spittler, perfected the hair and make-up, both c/o PERFECT PROPS.

The duo shot a persona fashion series with stylist Iris Görling: CLOSED brand denim was styled as accessories on model Val. GUTSCHERA +OSTHOFF shot a fashion video for the VON BARDONITZ label with model Jules and music by Ania et le programmeur (hair & make-up: Selina Spittler).

Benjamin Becher c/o BLOSSOM MANAGEMENT provided the make-up skills for Carsten KOFALK’s new ‘Super Synthetic’ series. Anything but naturally pretty – colours pop across the shots!

Following the ADC and European Design Award the time has come for counting the medals: Norman KONRAD was honoured with Gold and Silver for his collaboration with Zwölf Medien: the cover of Elyjah’s ‘Planet, Planet’ album was a unique production due to the real bullet holes and the hand impressions of the large format shots also managed to impress the various juries. Leena Zimmermann was in charge of the styling of the photo production.

Steffi Laier is Germany’s Motocross World Champion. Norman KONRAD photographed the Motocross lady in her living room for BULLETIN MAGAZINE, the KTM is part of the interior and wasn’t specially draped for the picture.

Markus BACHMANN also collected his fair share of recognition – he was awarded Bronze for his collaboration with Scholz & Friends AD Johannes Stoll and their campaign for freedom of press, run by the International Society for Human Rights.

Everything fits in the Volkswagen TOURAN – the concise and precise campaign was realised in collaboration with DDB Berlin (AD Cathrin Ciuraj and Art Buying Kerstin Kraus).

On the Swedish national bank holiday of 6 June, Swedish TV channel 4 circulated a campaign against racism in all newspapers. Jörgen BRENNICKE shot the motif with the Holy Mother and a black baby. Fredrik Östergren of Östergren & Östergren was the art director.

Jörgen hit the studio for the new RE.FAIND vintage line. We are pleased to present the results.

Illustrator Jan KALLWEJT opened up a car for TOYOTA MAGAZINE and the Jelly agency, London. He depicts just what should fit inside a small car for winter holidays. He illustrated the summer holiday scene as a plan for SPANAIR and the Shackleton Barcelona agency. Where will it take us?

Olaf HEINE initiated a photo project, which will be premiered during the World Cup. Over the past year, he travelled across Germany with a large format camera and captured German and international football stars.

The large format portraits will be on display at Berlin’s renowned Hiltawsky Gallery from 24 June to 11 July 2010. Portrait sitters include Michael Ballack, Thierry Henry, Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Mario Gomez, Miro Klose and many more. More details can be found on GoSee.
