Jan Steinhilber
Car & transportation photographers
Jan Steinhilber had a great opportunity to shoot the new 911 Speedster in a very special location: the Porsche Archives, a well hidden facility near Stuttgart packed with incredible treasures of automotive and racing history - especially air-cooled ones! Being a legendary derivate of the 911 by heritage, it felt only natural to shoot this car together with its ancestors and other legends.
The commissioning agency for this project was Kemper Kommunikation from Frankfurt, with Art Director Lars Heberer and Art Buyer Agnieszka Henkel.

Kai Schwabe
Food & drink photographers
Kai Schwabe has put a lot of thought into a new look for drinks and food recipe presentation, avoiding the "shabby or messy look" that is often found online. Instead he deploys a clear picture language with recipes and other angles for cocktails, and in addition relies on clear uni-colour combinations for his backgrounds. A hard light full of interesting shadows supports it all.
Kai put together the self-promo photo series featured in this Showcase together with his assistant Lisa and stylists Christoph Hoefs and Clarence Brown IV.
He has been working for brands like Mondelez, Uncle Ben's, Metro and Milka for many years. His studio offers the best prerequisites for his creative work.
Kai works between Bremen and Hamburg.

Simon Puschmann
Hamburg
Simon Puschmann loves shooting. Although most people have him down as "just“ a car photographer (and he loves his car photography, that goes without saying), he is pretty much an all-rounder in the best sense of the term - the jack of all trades of photography.
Simon began as a still life photographer working from his own studio for many years, before drifting into directing - winning a prestigious award from Sueddeutsche Zeitung - and then somehow slipped into car photography. It makes sense that he is now able to combine all of these fields, shooting and directing cars, still life, people and landscapes. Simon just cannot stop shooting and inventing.
His good friend and well known art director, Iain Ross, recently said: "Simon is beyond cool. He is very, very creative. Unique. Never resting. Not afraid. Always pushing the craft."
