Anatol Gottfried specialises in advertising and lifestyle photography built for impact—where craft and commercial clarity drive the visual. His work balances bold ideas with meticulous execution, creating imagery designed to perform across global campaigns.

For FuzeTea's recent global promo campaign, the goal was visual punch: capture the brand's "Fusion Experience" with immersive wide-angle perspectives that shove the product forward— the bottle literally lunging off the screen toward the viewer. The scenarios are art-directed and refined in post to deliver eye-catching moments built for OOH scale. Bright, optimistic, unapologetically commercial—imagery crafted to stop scrollers and grab attention on billboards worldwide.

Whether lifestyle, automotive, or product-focused, Anatol works with clients globally on campaigns that demand strategic vision and technical precision.

Based in Germany and regularly shooting high-end productions in Dubai and internationally, fashion and beauty photographer Robert Larsen blends commercial precision with cinematic storytelling.

Recent highlights include capturing high-voltage promotion visuals for rising DJ duo Mestiza ahead of their 2026 Coachella debut and residency at Hï Ibiza. Showcasing precision and trend-setting aesthetics, Robert also lensed the Intercoiffeur Suisse Hair Trends 2026, creative directed by the multi-award-winning Martin Dürrenmatt.

Pushing artistic boundaries, his deeply personal multimedia project, The Weight of Time, functions as both an editorial photo series and a cinematic fashion short film. Serving as a visual essay on the architecture of grief, the film masterfully translates the silence of loss into high-fashion imagery. 

Available for worldwide bookings, Robert’s work consistently delivers striking, top-tier editorial narratives for global brands and agencies.

With extensive experience in classical advertising and studio photography, he combines technical expertise with creative vision, quickly understanding complex industrial processes and transforming them into powerful visual narratives.

High-end post-production and retouching are also central to his work. Francisco often manages projects from concept and shoot through to final image refinement, ensuring uncompromising quality.

Rainer Häckl creates photography that feels honest, contemporary, and emotionally precise. His work is built around people — their presence, their energy, and the small, authentic moments that make an image believable.

From corporate portraits and workplace stories to sports, lifestyle, and editorial assignments, he combines a strong visual sensibility with the ability to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera. Even camera-shy subjects quickly find confidence through his calm, clear direction.

His experience as a graphic designer gives him a valuable understanding of the bigger picture: composition, brand consistency, layout requirements, campaign usage, and the practical needs of marketing, PR, and agency teams. The result is photography that is not only visually compelling, but also strategically usable.
