London: Samuel Hicks
Title: Ollie
Location: Brick Lane Station Park, London. "I’ve been thinking about the environment a lot and wanted to shoot a series of images that touch on the subject of rewilding. As if the sitter has created their own personal wild space.
I was introduced to Ollie through a friend and thought he would be really great for this portrait. We tried to keep the shoot as environmentally friendly as possible. The flowers were a mixture of real and artificial. We hired all the artificial flowers from a company that specialises in supplying plants and foliage to the film industry and live events. The real flowers at the end of the day were given to crew members so they could take them home and enjoy them."

Germany - Spain: Anatol Gottfried
Title: Real Magic with Mo+Th
Location: Cape Town. "The shot was part of a social media campaign for Coca-Cola, an excellent reminder that the most captivating stories are often the ones that unfold naturally, reflecting real life and human experience.
During each project, my primary goal is to uncover a narrative that is both unexpected and authentic. I seek to go beyond the confines of the script, allowing the moments to happen, capturing the raw and genuine emotions of the subjects in their true essence. For this approach, clients need to place their trust and take risks, the only way of reaching new limits. This mostly will be rewarded by stories far more compelling than any preconceived ideas, revealing the unscripted beauty of life itself."

Istanbul: Doruk Barin
Title: The new Renault Austral
Location : Gökçeada / Çanakkale. "I took the launch photos of the new Austral for Renault Turkey.
We used Gökçeada, the westernmost point of Turkey, for the two-day shoot. We had a hard time against the wind on this island, which is popular for windsurfing. Despite everything, it was a great job."

Anatol Gottfried Barcelona Automotive and Lifestyle Photographers
Anatol Gottfried enthusiastically embraced the complete essence of his most recent visit to Manila, persisting in his ongoing collaboration with his friends from AME - Art Meets Education e. V.
AME is a non-profit organisation which empowers education through the lens of photography. In immersive workshops, children discover the art of self-expression using photography as their medium. The photographs they create find a platform in exhibitions and events, where they are showcased and made available for purchase. Every cent of the proceeds fuels AME's initiatives and projects. As a result, these young minds become architects of their own educational journey, securing funding for their schooling all the way through high school.
Art Meets Education identifies children who, due to financial constraints, are not attending school and thus stand to benefit the most from the project. In a workshop, they become familiar with the basics of photography, followed by a week during which the photographs are created. At the end of this phase, there is a curated exhibition that includes not only the children's works but also interviews and texts.
Anatol ventured alongside the children in their native environment and school, thoroughly documenting their experiences with the analog AGFA cameras.
Always eager for new experiences and exciting projects, Anatol is available to work anywhere in the world. Have a glimpse at his portfolio on his Instagram or website and give him a shout to rock your next production.
