Anatol Gottfried, a distinguished lifestyle and transportation photographer, calls both Barcelona and Berlin his creative homes. With an unwavering focus on dynamism, Anatol has established himself as a maestro in the realm of automotive photography, infusing it with his distinctive aesthetic.

Since 2015, Toyota has been the global mobility partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. In 2024, the games will take place in Paris, and in collaboration with the Paris Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Toyota is committed to making Paris 2024 the most innovative project yet for inclusive and sustainable mobility. For this purpose, it is primarily necessary to ensure that athletes, their families, staff, volunteers, and spectators can move sustainably and safely.

For this special occasion, Anatol has crafted a series that captivates the essence of Parisian streets. Collaboration with the talented team at Gybow Lights was seamless, together teleporting themselves from the dark studio to the vibrant ambiance of French capital.

Bathed in the radiant glow of positive energy, the German photographer Anatol Gottfried meticulously crafts each image, ensuring that light, color, and composition dance in perfect harmony. With every shutter click, he weaves a sharp narrative, infusing his work with the essence of the human spirit. His photographs are not mere captures of moments; they are testaments to the profound beauty and resilience of the human experience.

Title: Real Magic with Mo+Th

Location: Cape Town. "The shot was part of a social media campaign for Coca-Cola, an excellent reminder that the most captivating stories are often the ones that unfold naturally, reflecting real life and human experience.

During each project, my primary goal is to uncover a narrative that is both unexpected and authentic. I seek to go beyond the confines of the script, allowing the moments to happen, capturing the raw and genuine emotions of the subjects in their true essence. For this approach, clients need to place their trust and take risks, the only way of reaching new limits. This mostly will be rewarded by stories far more compelling than any preconceived ideas, revealing the unscripted beauty of life itself."

Anatol Gottfried enthusiastically embraced the complete essence of his most recent visit to Manila, persisting in his ongoing collaboration with his friends from AME - Art Meets Education e. V.

AME is a non-profit organisation which empowers education through the lens of photography. In immersive workshops, children discover the art of self-expression using photography as their medium. The photographs they create find a platform in exhibitions and events, where they are showcased and made available for purchase. Every cent of the proceeds fuels AME's initiatives and projects. As a result, these young minds become architects of their own educational journey, securing funding for their schooling all the way through high school.

Art Meets Education identifies children who, due to financial constraints, are not attending school and thus stand to benefit the most from the project. In a workshop, they become familiar with the basics of photography, followed by a week during which the photographs are created. At the end of this phase, there is a curated exhibition that includes not only the children's works but also interviews and texts.

Anatol ventured alongside the children in their native environment and school, thoroughly documenting their experiences with the analog AGFA cameras.

Always eager for new experiences and exciting projects, Anatol is available to work anywhere in the world. Have a glimpse at his portfolio on his Instagram or website and give him a shout to rock your next production.
