GERMANY ISSUE 189 Dec 2009

One of the year's highlights for bigshrimp fotoproduktion was the Christ Jewellery catalogue, shot over six days in one of the company's brand new studios. bigshrimp provided complete production services for the project, including artbuying, casting and production itself.

The new bigshrimp studios in Berlin have enjoyed immense popularity. Adidas and Y-3 spent two weeks in studios 1 and 3, whilst Bernd Jaworek worked in studio 2 on a SAT 1 production and Christoph Riccius completed a project for RWE.

bigshrimp Berlin collaborated with the Hamburg team to realise three motifs for a new Ikea campaign. Photographer Pia Ulin, c/o Agent Bauer Stockholm, captured the elaborate kitchen motifs on location. The Berlin team were also given an Audi assignment by the Gingco Agency.

The Hamburg branch has been equally in demand, spending several days producing two projects for Ernsting's Family under the watchful eye of Heye & Partner Munich. The results feature in an upcoming Christmas catalogue starring 'Germany's Next Top Model' star Marie.

The casting and location team supervised commissions for Deutsche Bahn, Deutsche Bank and VW.
