Marcus Renken is a Hamburg-based fashion photographer with a special affinity for kids. While many collegues find the work with children hard and stressful, Marcus is still curious and excited to find the key to trust, "the essential ingredient to getting your models to feel free and be themselves."

Naturally, this requires efficient teamwork and workflow. One Art Director said after a couple of years of co-operation: "The most relaxed shoots I have ever had.“

In recent years Marcus has worked for a large number of catalogues, including
Jako-o, Fitz, Steiff, Otto, Bonprix, Tchibo, Whoopy, Stummer and Mills Fashion, and is still looking for new challenges.
