By 2025, more than a third of all Germans will be over 50. Best Agers are one of the key target audiences in advertising. Elbmodels, as Germany's leading model agency for Best Agers, really understands this development, so since 15 years the age range of their models starts where other agencies draw the line.

Located in Hamburg and Munich, they connect experienced models from Germany and abroad with advertising agencies, magazines and photographers for movie and photo productions. The models embody the lifestyle of their generation, with a striking appearance and lots of experience.

Siemens Home Appliances unveiled a new brand identity in 2018 and recently refined it in a global brand re-shape. Michael Heinsen created the visual identity for both campaigns. Photography was done at Vogelsänger Studios in Munich.

Within a free production in Los Angeles, Michael tried new techniques for a special image appearance. Distinctive color shifts and reflections were the result. Have a look in this Showcase.

"Challenging light situations are always fascinating and personal work is a great opportunity to show the ability to cope with it."

For Sergei, 2022 started with onboarding new and now repeat clients, EV startup Nobe Cars Inc., among others.

The year continued with a busy schedule working in studios and on location, creating social media assets as well as shooting advertising imagery for Toyota, McLaren and Cleveron Mobility. Of course, there was a chance to experiment and fulfill some ideas during a personal lifestyle project with Alpina.

“Some of the most exciting projects are still under embargo and I am really eager to showcase them at the end of the year!”

Sergei's team is keen on having new clients, both agencies and automakers, which means availability to travel all around the world.

More of Sergei's work can be discovered on his Instagram page and website.

"My work is focused on kid's fashion and lifestyle as a photographer and director working worldwide.

I use my coaching skills on set when I photograph kids, having a Waldorf and Montessori background. At work, my main intention is finding real and unique moments come to life through an authentic and lively performance of my subjects."

Margo is a unique combination of deep emotions, sensibility, spontaneity and authenticity. Her passion is finding that one in a million shot. She treats every shoot like her very first one, but does so with decades of experience. In her own words, this is the essence of her art:

“I channel my emotions into my work - I live whatever I capture through my lens. I chase authenticity, in myself, in my clients and in every picture I take”.

Margo knows that the key to a successful shoot is mutual trust, especially when she is photographing personalities.

“Every shoot begins with an opening up to each other. The question is: how do I pierce the surface we all see, to access what is underneath, while ensuring that my subject knows they are safe at the end of my camera lens - that’s the most difficult part of every shoot and the most rewarding, that’s where you find gold”.

“The first 10 to 20 seconds is where the connection forms, intuitively. But that only happens when both sides open up to each other. That’s why vulnerability isn’t one-sided and I don’t expect it to be: I open myself up to my clients, too. That’s where the magic begins”.
