Yuriy's photographs are a mixture of elegance, burst of motion, atmospheric lights and precisely constructed compositions, where every element has its own place.

Although Yuriy has already developed his recognisable style, his high technical knowledge, art director's thinking and curiosity to experiment make him a visual polyglot, which allows him to move flexibly between the photographic genres: sports, fashion, portraiture and travel.

He is always well-prepared to meet his clients' needs. The combination of the German accuracy and the Eastern European spontaneity makes working with Yuriy fun, creative and reliable. Nevertheless Yuriy is well connected with the production companies from Kiev, which can be helpful to find the most efficient solutions for the client's budget and needs.

As a passionate sports and martial arts practitioner for many years, Yuriy has worked as a model in the past. This all together gives him a much better understanding on how to direct his models and athletes to get the best results. 

Clients inlclude: Gymshark, Afterpay, and Airbnb.

Positive energy is an essential creative source for the German photographer Anatol Gottfried. Specialised in lifestyle and transportation photography, he shoots preferably on location and always works closely with the people he photographs.

For the green power supplier Holaluz Anatol has shot the latest campaign which recruits to modify Spanish rooftops into renewable energy sources. 'Revolución de los tejados' - rooftop revolution. "Wherever one lives, with or without solar panels, anybody can be part of the rooftop revolution. This way contributing to transform rare city space into fields for renewable energy."

Shortly published were also the visuals produced for Tyrosur by Engelhard Arzneimittel showing the protagonists in daring domestic manoeuvre just before an accident. In addition to photography, Anatol directed and captured the moving images himself.

On another occasion Anatol teamed up with Berlin-based visual artist Andy Kassier to put the new BMW X3 to a yoga test on a beach in South Africa. "Mornings rock best in colour!"

Right now Anatol is busy capturing exciting projects under the last summer sun rays in Germany - he never stops exploring and is available to work worldwide. For more work please check his website and follow him on Instagram.
