Although David Herm appears as a newcomer on the professional photography scene, his experience in the film and photo industries dates back to the 1990s. After training in a large studio for advertising photography, where he gained exposure to still life, people, car and industry techniques, he went on to work as a freelancer at Select magazine for several years. He has worked internationally for renowned photographers including Andreas Gursky, and also in the film business for many years.

David started his own fully digitally equipped studio in Düsseldorf in 2008, where he photographs mainly still life and people. He lives between Düsseldorf and Lisbon, Portugal.

Still life photographer Michele Gastl loves his family, his job and his motorbike (but not necessarily in that order).

Seemingly very different, these three things have something in common. Watching his daughter smile, riding off into the woods on a winding road, and giving value to everyday objects through his shots are the ways in which Michele pursues, reveals and appreciates the beauty of life.
