Dusseldorf: Romer Photography  

For more than 10 years, Porsche AG has been relying on Stephan Romer's skills when it comes to shooting its most important new releases and limited special editions. In preparation for the new Carrera 911's world debut at the IAA 2011, Stephan and his team shot all summer, winter, and outdoor catalogue motifs in New Zealand earlier in the year.

Lighthouse Productions NZ supported the production and the result is no less than 46 stunning images. KEKO Frankfurt was the agency responsible, with AD Steffi Assfalg. Many of the locations were conveniently situated at Stephan's own front door in Queenstown - his second home after Düsseldorf. His knowledge of New Zealand's delicacies also ensured both client and team remained in good spirits.

New Zealand-based PacificPostProduction Ltd. was responsible for a CGI series with backdrops from the USA, Australia, Portugal and Thailand. More info can be found on Stephan's homepage.

Romerphotography faced an enormous challenge during June, July and August 2009, with 84 motives to shoot, five brand new Cayenne prototype cars, and a decision to be made as to where go to shoot them. Once again, Stephan Romer trusted the professional skills of Lighthouse Productions New Zealand, hitting Australia for the tropical areas of Queensland and lush countryside of New South Wales.

"Spiders, snakes and loud laughing birds were our daily 'friends' and gave everybody the feeling we were shooting in a zoo," said Stephan. "But in the end, nobody got left behind and we all made it back to our home destinations with the amazing feeling that the weather was with us the whole time. 45 days of pure sunshine, amazing!"

Heading directly from Australia back to New Zealand, Stephan shot several images of a red double decker for an upcoming New Zealand Post ad. Visit the new website to see this and many more images, including brand new CGI motives.

After being the first photographer to inaugurate the brand new Autódromo Internacional do Algarve racetrack with a GT3 shoot for Porsche AG in October 2008, Stephan Romer returned to the circuit in 2009 for two further photo productions.

His first shoot was for the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS catalogue and worldwide ads. The rollercoaster-like racetrack, with sharp blind bends and amazing up and downhill sections, fitted perfectly with the challenging attributes of the 450 bhp race car.

In cooperation with 1000-roads.com and Quickrig GmbH, Stephan also shot the campaign for the AIA racetrack and its race cars, introduced by an international press conference mid 2009. One of the highlights of this production was an original high speed rig-shot of a drifting BMW M3. Both photographer and technique survived the experiment undamaged and with big smiles all round.

Stephan Romer is a freelance photographer with over 17 years professional experience. For more than 10 years he has focussed his work on high-end car photography, with shoots taking him all over the world.

On location he loves working in extreme conditions, pushing the limits to get the best possible results. But, as the photographer himself says "Sometimes it's nice to have the light under control in the studio".

Some of his recent projects have included the Porsche Cayenne GTS, shot in Spain (Campaign and Catalogue), the Porsche "Modelle" range, shot in Chile (Campaign), and the Volkswagen After Sales Program (studio work).

An extraordinary project was the "United" shoot for the Volkswagen AG. A former military air base was the playground for 6 weeks of catalogue shooting. Graphic elements and shelters were the background for these unusual pictures. 120,000 watt/second of brand new BRON equipment transformed the whole area into a huge outdoor studio.
