Claudia Bitzer : MERCEDES GLK, ADC New York

Peer BRECHT realized four new CGI motifs in Los Angeles for MERCEDES GLK. They are particularly special as the landscape images were shot twice – during the day and at night, these were then also post produced on location.

An additional eight motifs from this series will be released in June. The agency was Jung von Matt with CD Peter Harasim, AD Sebastian Stabenau, advisor Rachel Petersen and art buyer Susanne Nagel, Dr. Hammer and Mr. Brommer represented the client.

Christian SCHMIDT was presented with even more prizes: he walked away from this year’s Art Director's Club Awards in New York with a total of three prize-winning series. In addition to his Watt pictures, which have already been honoured by the BFF and the Association of Photographers in London, his Car-Park series and See motifs were also awarded. The New York awards show was held on 1 May – we have attached the nine prize-winning images.

Furthermore, we have also included a new personal piece by Christian. The four air pictures were realized from a helicopter on the West Coast, USA.
