Photographer Christoph Gramann gets close - very close. Not only does he capture moments but also ambiance and the slightest emotion, telling a story with every picture. Be it work environments or lifestyle, he always sets the right mood by not seeking, but finding. It derives from his attitude that there is beauty in everybody and everything, and that in whatever shape and form it comes it is his duty to make it shine.

His 25 years of experience have seen him collaborate with clients including FC Bayern Munich, Adidas, CSU, O2, ZDF and Allianz, but also well known personalities and strong characters such as Ulrich Wickert, Andreas Gabalier, Oliver Kahn, Wayne Carpendale, Franz Beckenbauer, Nicola Thost, Markus Wasmeier, Regina Halmich, and all the FC Bayern Munich squad.
