Frank Wartenberg Hamburg photographers

Even German TV stars sometimes dream of Hollywood.
Frank Wartenberg did a huge photo shoot for TV Digital. He asked seven actresses from long-running TV soap Lindenstrasse to be photographed as the character of their dreams. He and his team built a copy of St Petersburg's Winter Palace to create a suitable surrounding for Marie-Louise Marjan - who plays Mrs Beimer in the TV show - to be Catherine the Great. Other settings included a Parisian boudoir for Moulin Rouge, a palace for Cleopatra and a villa for Marlene Dietrich.

On the streets of Miami Beach, Frank did a night shoot for the young fashion label New Yorker. The police officer who was there to protect the team ended up lending his police car as a prop for the models.
