Recent work from Christoph Siegert featured in this Spotlight:

• Christoph shot for Swiss cheese Gruyère in the Alps. Conrad Gley Thieme was the accompanying agency for the German image campaign.
  The crew enjoyed the last rays of the day's sun with a traditional pasta dish of 'Spätzle' with Gruyère cheese.
• For Mahlberg and Meyer’s 40th jubilee, Christoph and Frank Hermes produced some little gems of their own for the new website. Their films show the passion and attention to detail that the jewellers put into the products and service for their clients. 
• Christoph has created the ideal setting for the Hamburg-based start-up Elbler to present its delicious organic apple cider. The film and photo shoot shows how a  sunny day spent relaxing on the beach isn't complete without a refreshing drink, while Christoph's sunny images get everyone in the right mood!
