High-class, natural and with a special eye for moods: Dieter Sieg and Volker Warning have been working with great passion as advertising, product and image photographers for almost 20 years. In their bluestudios in Hamburg and Hannover, but also on location throughout Europe, they photograph interior and exterior, advertising, cars, people and lifestyle as well as food and drink.

Together with their picture agency roomimage®, the pair has specialised in visual presentations of floors and floor surfaces of the highest standard. Whether parquet flooring, laminate, carpets or stone; whether offices, doctor’s offices, living spaces, businesses or hotels, for any requirement, for every new trend and at any location Dieter and Volker offer high-quality interior images for numerous renowned clients.

Both share the desire to offer clients exclusivity, constantly new visual languages and at the same time emotionally accessible images. This high standard has ensured the trust of clients such as Volkswagen, Continental, Sennheiser, Ritz-Carlton, Courtyard Marriott, Deutsche Messe, Bosch Rexroth, Blohm + Voss Shipyards, Akzo Nobel and many others.
