Founded in 1996, Castin is a Frankfurt-based casting agency that has grown into an all-inclusive casting service with an index of some 2,500 models. Thanks to many years of experience advertising, film and photography clients consistently rely on a type-specific cast of characters.

In August 2017, Castin moved to a new office in Oberrad, Frankfurt. The new area includes a great studio for all castings and many new experiences.

Furthermore, Castin leads the concept for exciting sedcard-shoots: casting sequences with multiple facial expressions can be very funny, and are a great way for clients to see more of each model. Castin also presents its new project 'Castkids', featuring kids of all ages.

The company offers make-up artists and stylists and can provide additional casting direction, including live, video and street casting as well as organisation and coordination.

Clients include Hyundai, Porsche, Carglas, Siemens, GLS, Deutsche Bahn, Ferrero, Lufthansa, Ikea, Kia Motors, essence cosmetics, Thomas Cook (Condor), Jaguar, Sony, Westlotto, Commerzbank, Bosch, Lidl, Samsung, Dr. Theiss Naturwaren and MedipharmaCosmetics.

Sabine Duerichen travelled to Valencia, Spain to shoot the summer campaign for client Aptamil. The autumn campaign will soon follow.

Sabine was able to work for fashion client Blue Seven for the autumn/winter lookbook collection 2017/2018.

More advertising work included shots for client milupa. The theme was to focus on the babies' and toddlers' bellies, to connect to the big and very important topic of nutrition.

Sabine is represented by Kristina Korb GmbH, Munich.

The youngster from northern Germany not only has a passion for food, but also a knack for conceptual photography with a graphic edge.

Calle Hackenberg’s pictures are not just plain delicious-looking photographs but are rather interwoven in vivid, visual stories that gradually unfold in front of the beholder’s eye.

Two of his most recent projects are featured in this Showcase. The cover story for the current issue of Gruner+Jahr’s BEEF! Magazine and the anniversary series for the August issue of DBmobil, Deutsche Bahn’s customer magazine.

Hamburg-based photographer Nina Struve is curious. How do people furnish their flats? How do they feel cosy? How do they live? Due to this curiosity, Nina's focus is on interior, people, stills and food.

She proves her intentions, her taste and a touch for that right moment, for the natural mood of people, buildings and apartments and catches it in her pictures. Nice things are presented in a harmonic and well balanced way. Studio or on location, her images always have this daylight vibe.

Recent projects featured in this Showcase:

• Daylight and natural mood in images for 'Küche des Jahres', coverage of the five best kitchens in Germany 2017. Editorial images were shot for Zuhause Wohnen Magazin / MHK.
• Hygge - the Danish lifestyle, meaning cosy or comfy, is the theme for the refurbishment of the Hotel and Restaurant Landhaus Flottbek as well as the shoot. Images were used on the internet, PR and social media.
• Cosiness and wellbeing in images for Poster XXL for a campaign across all media.
• Images for 'Furnishing Elbphilharmonie' for Studio Besau Marguerre were used in several magazines, newspapers, social media and documentaries.
