Founded in 1996 by Beat Brechbuehl and Sylvan Mueller, Fabrik Studios has built a strong reputation for extraordinary images.

Specialising in still life, food, and jewellery photography, the company has studios in New York and Switzerland that allow its creative collective (three photographers, two digital imaging experts and a production manager) to implement campaigns for a wide range of global clients. Such clients have included Nestlé, Roche, HP, Macy's, Credit Suisse, and Bodum, amongst many others.

Latest work includes:

• A new campaign for HP promoting the company's engagement with environmental sustainability.
• Product and ambience shots for the 2008 Bodum catalogue.
• Work for Siemens household appliances.
• Still life photography and extensive photo editing/retouching of jewellery for Guebelin magazine.

Aside from intense testing of his new digital equipment, Günther completed a small but very fine presentation for Prada, along with a worldwide campaign for Giorgio Armani and a global product launch for Odlo International.

The photographer also shot a beauty feature for Migros.

Visualeyes works with photographers such as Patrizio di Renzo, Marino Parisotto Vay, Juventino Mateo, Helena Christensen, and many more across all fields of photography, including fashion, beauty, advertising, architecture and portraiture.

Seb Michel is proud to present his recent campaign for Baume & Mercier and its new watch range 'Iléa'.

With the client looking for a smooth harmony between all the competing elements, Seb shot both the product stills and the photos of the models.

The photographer not only sought feminine emotions from his models but also looked to evoke similar feelings from the flowers and watches appearing in the shots, so as to be able to blend them all into highly original compositions.
