In February, the magazine Focus Business commissioned me to photograph the internationally active headhunter Thomas Deininger. With 14 offices in London, L.A., Singapore, Beijing and Mumbai, among others, Thomas Deininger travels a lot. For a 6-page report we had only 1h time with him. So the preparation was important. Since I was already in Frankfurt...

Hearing „Consumed” by Plastikman is like a trip. Also addictive, but legal and without serious, permanent damage. You have to get involved, it’s not a Sunday morning croissant album. The more high-resolution the source material and the better the stereo system through which you listen to the album, the better. In fact, the most urgent...

I immediately loved the premise of this concept “see the bigger picture” – it was something that really resonated with me. I can sometimes become incredibly detailed orientated and lose sight of the end game. Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson made history by applying a simple and succinct navigation system – I thought that their ability...

Maryam, a great young power woman. With heart and mind. She’s done something fantastic in Jordan. Right on the Syrian border, completely nowhere .. in a small container. A fantastic collaboration with a great insight into a culturally completely different world. How can steadfastness ensure long-term success for your company?

A road trip through Germany with the American blogger Foster Huntington. The result are 35 short portraits about people, starting on the Zugspitze, ending in northern Germany at the Amrum lighthouse. With us we took a simple but not so easy question: What is important to you? The Allianz campaign challenged people to think about...

It was an honour to make this film for our wonderful NHS. Out this week to celebrate it’s 70th Anniversary (can’t quite believe its only 70 years old) and, more importantly, to help in the organisation’s biggest ever recruitment drive for more nurses – an urgent need for the NHS. I’m sure we can all...

The earth sinks in the garbage. We spill. Scrap, plastic, waste, hazardous waste, electronic scrap, radioactive waste. It’s like we’re about to suffocate under the residue, that our lives produce every day. And yet, it seems, no one really feels responsible. The apparent invisibility of this catastrophe can only be the reason that nobody gets...

The idea for “Menschen, Maschinen und Ideen” came from direct contact with the people at Koenig & Bauer – and that’s always a good sign. We have always discussed printing machines in great detail at our meetings. On the one hand, everyone knows the products (media, packaging, money). On the other hand, however, printing machines...

Introduction: A home with insulated walls, a roof, electricity and a toilet. For us, a given – unimaginable for large parts of the world’s population. In southern Africa, architect Roel Rutgers is tackling the problem and creating a safe home for people in slum areas. The corrugated steel houses glisten in the sun and form...

I thought that it was so brave of a bank to admit that we don’t live for money – because in truth we don’t. We live for the freedom that money allows us, the freedom that allows us to pursue our passions. It struck me that this shift in thinking was quite profound, do what...

This piece is part of the “I don’t live for money campaign”, it depicts the parallel stories between well known South African footballer, Aubrey Madiba, and an aspiring footballer. Aubrey was actually discovered through the Nedbank cup, a platform which gives young players a chance to play against established teams. The programme transformed Aubrey’s life...
