"At PLUSH74, we believe that finding your perfect shooting locations should not only be easy and fun, but most of all surprising – every single time! After all, without the element of novelty, even the greatest creative brief can lead to just another boring commodity campaign.

Being the location aficionados that we are, we're always on the lookout for funky new spaces all around the world. But even in our home base Germany, we can't stop finding new shooting potential in every nook and cranny!

Whether it's a round, furry private home on the outskirts of Munich, a minimalist, highly curated gym in the heart of Berlin, or a brownstone 'American Dream' villa in southern Brandenburg, we'll take you on a world tour of location love – without ever leaving the country!

And the best part? Booking these spaces is just one direct request and a few clicks away."

Authentic moments, real emotions and adrenaline is the focus of Jessica Zumpfe’s images. Capturing the connection between the people and the landscape, she is one of the few female photographers in the outdoor sport category.

Jessica likes to be right in the centre of the action, whether it is hanging in the ropes on a climbing wall, underneath a helicopter or floating in a river. She does basically every sport well enough to keep up on the shoot. Knowing what it feels like from the inside, makes her work so authentic and allows her to portray the feelings and action of the sport.

Her productions are always meticulously planned out, making it easy to adjust and stay flexible on the actual shoot.

She is now based between Berlin, Cape Town and Innsbruck.

Jessica recently shot for clients including Jochen Schweizer, Mydays, PAC and GNTM and has some exciting new projects coming up – so stay tuned!

"You have to dream a car first" was Enzo Ferrari's credo. And no one else creates images of the Commendatore’s dreams like car photographer Günther Raupp. Now, on the occasion of Ferrari's 75th anniversary, he has published a lavish illustrated book, numbered and strictly limited worldwide to 1,947 copies, 312 large-format pages and weighing 3.6 kg.

“With his unmistakably luminous photographs, Günther celebrates the timeless beauties from Ferrari's 75 years. His book brings them to life: In each of the 280 photographs, it's as if you can hear the sound of the engine”, writes Nicole Simon in ViaAbetone magazine.

“You drive with your eyes. This book is the largest Ferrari museum in the world”, praises Martin Wittler in Der SPIEGEL.

So it is not surprising that Günther experiences a series of brilliant book presentations and exhibitions, even featured in NDR TV.
