Michael Mueller: sports, people, lifestyle photographer for the new large format magazine Reset of his agency, Neubauerschwarz.

"The human in the rhythm of nature. By the water, in the desert, in the mountains, on gravel roads and paths in the forest. In the fog that envelops the landscape and allows the focus on the essential: the feeling of being part of the whole... Calm settles in. Contemplative moments of reset.

With my photography I want to collect these moments and emotions to tell a story. My photographs are visual tales about journeys to distant countries, big cities and lonely mountain worlds - little moments. Moments and emotions the viewer easily understands, gets touched by, feels and experiences through my imagery.

Natural light and the vagaries of the weather provide me with the framework for a scene. Adjustment, flexibility and teamwork are necessary to capture the atmosphere and emotion which in the end touches the viewer and pleases the customer."

"The sky cleared up, the clouds of the past few days slowly disappeared and left behind a freshly snow-covered winter landscape. The snow crystals sparkle in the light of the low-lying sun and a broad grin appears on the face of every winter sports enthusiast. Perfect conditions for a long day in the snow - with skis, snowboards and good friends!"

The sports, people and lifestyle photographer Michael Mueller loves all kinds of winter sports as you can see on his images.

Michael Mueller has shot the TrueOriginals campaign for Buff.

"The challenge was to find groups of friends and follow and capture their adventures in a way that is authentic and inspiring - but always from the perspective of the product.

In five days we shot urban running, commuting, gravel bike, road bike, trekking and trail running. Tough timing, but we found a real cool cast for all the topics and the city of Oslo and the Jotunheimen National Park in Norway gave us the perfect autumn looking locations we needed for this campaign. "

This Original Buff campaign was shot for Fresh Britain, and production was handled by Natural Born Explorers.

"Power - coordination - precision.

Focus and precision - every movement fits! Such quick, precise execution of the movement sequences is only possible through years of training. Coordination, strength and flexibility at the highest level!

We shot this global campaign for Superdry around the themes flex and training on location in London. Due to the global crisis surrounding the coronavirus, unfortunately only the first part of the campaign could be photographed."
