Thanks to his interest in people, Christoph Siegert can connect with you very quickly. This gift helps him immensely with the implementation of his projects in the field of film and photo, which he has recently been able to realise through stories that are told in beautiful atmospheric images.

Christoph produced an image film for the advertising agency, 2do Marketing Services. In Christoph's characteristically atmospheric and warm tones, he humorously stages the different facets of how advertising agencies work. A nice challenge in this case was his directorial work with only children as actors, which he mastered with flying colours! But you should see for yourself.

Christoph photographed and directed for the hearing aid manufacturer Optimus Schmelzer. With “storytelling at its best”, the “Excellent Day” commercial shows that small and inconspicuous hearing aids can do much more than just make sounds louder. Christoph proves here with sensitive instructions that even silent punch lines can carry a film.

Atmospheric, authentic, credible and high-quality portrait and lifestyle photography is what Michael Heinsen is known for. Whether he is faced with emotionality, strong physical presence, fragility or a special aura, Michael Heinsen captures those fine nuances that make a photo or film sequence special and different.

Thanks to his intuition and his ability to connect easily with the people he meets, he never fails to create these unique moments, be it in a complex photo production or a hectic film shoot.
