Christoph Siegert People and Lifestyle Photographers and directors
On the subject of the Corona Crisis, Christoph produced the haunting and atmospheric film #NOTthesameprocedure for Edelhof1514 during the shutdown, quite spontaneously and with a small team. Based on the commonly known film "Dinner for One", the story about the topic of how to keep in touch with the elderly during the Corona crisis and how it can be alleviated with the help of modern technology was created. All necessary and required hygiene rules were strictly adhered to.
In sunny Cape Town, Christoph realised in his usual authentic lifestyle style, at the beginning of the year, a cheerful, atmospheric story entitled "Rooftop Party". A refreshing drink - the South African cider "Hunters" was presented in a colourful and atmospheric way with a lot of zest for life. The story shows the carefree life in South Africa, which we hope to experience again soon.

Christoph Siegert People & Lifestyle Photographers and Directors
Thanks to his interest in people, Christoph Siegert can connect with you very quickly. This gift helps him immensely with the implementation of his projects in the field of film and photo, which he has recently been able to realise through stories that are told in beautiful atmospheric images.
Christoph produced an image film for the advertising agency, 2do Marketing Services. In Christoph's characteristically atmospheric and warm tones, he humorously stages the different facets of how advertising agencies work. A nice challenge in this case was his directorial work with only children as actors, which he mastered with flying colours! But you should see for yourself.
Christoph photographed and directed for the hearing aid manufacturer Optimus Schmelzer. With “storytelling at its best”, the “Excellent Day” commercial shows that small and inconspicuous hearing aids can do much more than just make sounds louder. Christoph proves here with sensitive instructions that even silent punch lines can carry a film.

The agency modus werbung, Hamburg, commissioned Christoph with the realisation of a photo campaign and two accompanying films for their client W. L. Gore & Associates GmbH (GORE-TEX). Work clothing with arc protection should be presented authentically and in a real work environment. The challenge was to present an ordinary work situation in an extraordinary way. In addition, very similar imagery and looks had to be designed for film and photo motifs to establish a consistent campaign look. In his dual function as photographer and director, Christoph is at home with both types of media and was, therefore, able to implement these tasks for the GORE® PYRAD® clothing in a targeted manner.
Christoph made two atmospheric lifestyle films for his client Witt-Weiden. The umbrella campaign "Fashion that likes me" is developed and managed by the Communicators agency. In the two films, Christoph shows once again that as a director he can motivate his actors, even in a tight period of 20 seconds. The films portray happy, almost high-spirited women who enjoy life, thanks to the well-being fashion from Witt-Weiden. Corresponding to the shoot, Christoph also photographed the campaign image therefore could ensure that the entire campaign had the same aesthetic style.

For the introduction of Volkswagen Genuine Oil, Christoph Siegert photographed satisfied drivers who count on obtaining full power and the highest quality via their commercial vehicles thanks to their choice of engine oil.
"Edelhof - the name sounds like a fairy tale, but the true story is almost more beautiful. In the rural landscape at the edge of the Harz is this listed manor house, a half-timbered building dating from 1514. The estate has been family-owned for four generations. The Edelhof includes a courtyard garden and idyllic orchards within surrounding nature reserves. There grow such wonderful old varieties as Schöner von Nordhausen, Laxton Superb and peach red summer apples. Together with friends and like-minded people, as part-time farmers we have devoted ourselves for a number of years to these old trees and to the tasty variety of their fruit, making the Edelbrand distillates, fruit jellies, Chutneys and juice from genuine local fruit varieties."
