Starting from January 2021 sports, people, lifestyle  photographer Michael Mueller is represented by Agency Neubauer from Munich.

“Photography makes the light work!" - this statement best describes his unique style and how he handles natural light. He skillfully masters the varieties of ambient light and light situations.

With his photography he wants to collect these moments and emotions to tell a story. They are visual tales about journeys to distant countries, big cities and lonely mountain worlds - little moments. Moments and emotions the viewer easily understands, gets touched by, feels and experiences through my imagery.

Natural light and the vagaries of the weather provide him with the framework for a scene. Adjustment, flexibility and teamwork are necessary to capture the atmosphere and emotion which in the end touches the viewer and pleases the customer.

Michael recently shot for clients including About you, BASF, Buff, DKV Mobility, Dynafit, Odlo, Otto Kern Fragrances, Powerbar, Superdry, Würth.

He will be on stay in Cape Town and available for shootings in January 2021.

"With more than 20 years of working as a stylist and costume designer I bring all the experience needed for your requests.  

After studying fashion design I started out working as designer for big houses like Versace and Moschino, plus had my own fashion brand for some years in the US.  

Besides I was a costume consultant on major international feature movies. Creating costumes was helpful for many advertising campaigns I was working on.  

Since travelling has always been my big love I feel thankful for my job taking me places.
