"ALL IN started this year to shoot in a majestical ice canyon for none other than Montblanc watches. To work under such icy conditions has been a great challenge and also an amazing experience – we loved it!

We had the chance to produce and organise one of their highlights of the year: the social project for Pro Infirmis, a private disability assistance organisation in Switzerland. We recreated childhood memories; surely all of us can relate. Their slogan “Wie du und Ich” means "like you and me", and we travelled through the whole country to find the perfect location with the same lighting as the memento picture.

It has been such a wonderful experience, working with amazing people and recreating another very special memory."

After the lockdown in March and April, Luminosa Production started as soon as it was possible to be busy again. The new normal brought new skills, finding fitting locations for the clients without travelling too far, Switzerland and Germany came into focus for many of Luminosa's clients.

Thanks to its excellent network in Germany, and a cooperation partner in Munich (Production Paradise member dasprophaus) Luminosa was able to fullfill the requests and also discovered a lot of stunning locations in the south of Germany.

Featured in this Spotlight are some highlights of the fall/winter campaign of Peek & Cloppenburg Düsseldorf and the relaunch campaign for Stylebop. Both were shot by Andreas Ortner.

More clients to be featured soon, like Overland Sheepskin (shot in the Swiss Alps), Betty Barclay, Alba Moda, Birkenstock, Peek & Cloppenburg Düsseldorf Winter/Christmas campaign, and Peter Hahn.

Luminosa also reopened an office in Lugano - back to its roots!

"Luminosa Production - We are Europe."

Luminosa ended the year 2019 with a sunny shooting in Sicily for ANSON'S, shot by Michael Berger.

2020 started with some shootings in studio and in Lugano, Luminosa’s second home where the company reopened an office in 02/20.

With the outbreak of the Corona virus in Europe, things of course changed drastically and all confirmed productions, especially for Italy and France were cancelled. Clients had to change their plans, and as travelling was no longer an option, Germany became the focus as a location with many possibilities.

Due to the excellent network and a close cooperation with DAS PROPHAUS (location and production service, based In Munich), Luminosa was able to adjust immediately to the situation and provided the usual high standard in location research and services.

As soon as it was possible to shoot again on location Luminosa was ready and organised many shootings in Southern Germany, and also in Switzerland.

You will be surprised what beautiful spots Munich and surroundings has to offer.

Marco Aste is an internationally-commissioned advertising and editorial photographer.

His work with Migros Magazine was to photograph Swiss celebrities in their kitchens and their favorite meals. For him it was very interesting to see the contrast between private and public life.

It was very exciting for him to photograph the rebranding of the WIR Bank because it was more than just taking pictures: the cooperation with the client in the conceptualisation phase and the implementation period was very intense.

Weseta by Christian Fischbach and the Ehingerbc Zurich Agency also approached Marco  because they were enthusiastic about his photos and wanted his opinion in the concept and execution of their campaigns. 

While working with Straumann Group they gave him plenty of freedom to create his atmospheric black and white pictures that represent the new Straumann Group world of images.
