Mike Christian has been working as a professional photographer for over 30 years. He began his career shooting cars on location and in the studio for major companies such as Land Rover, Nissan, Fiat, Renault, Mazda, Ford and many others.

Building on this experience, Mike created a new corporate visual language for Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG that characterised for over a decade the image of HDM. A large amount of effort went into portraying their impressive machines as individual, sculptural pieces of art.

This led Mike to architectural photography with the intent of showing great detail in very high resolution, photographing different light situations and taking the best from each layer to produce an image that shows the complexity of the Print Media Academy.

Mike has also worked for companies including Melitta, Fissler, ROWA, Sharp and Uniroyal, as well as with artists, museums and art galleries. He now lives and works in an old factory building that has been turned into a charming studio.

cologne-loft.com is located in an old factory building situated in a courtyard that has been converted into a bright daylight studio with a very special ambiance.

Measuring 17m x 12m x 7m, within minutes the entire studio can be blacked-out for film directors or photographers needing to set their own light. The underfloor heating provides a comfortable atmosphere and the building's insulation ensures good acoustics for live sound takes. Studio has high 32 amps voltage. 

Two rooms are used for make-up and as a dressing room, and there is a small rooftop garden terrace. The walk-in kitchen is ideal for cookery shots and has a charm all of its own.

The studio is well equipped with props to provide whatever is needed for a successful production. Its ground-level location provides easy access for delivery vans and the courtyard can accommodate up to five cars, secured from the street via a roll-up gate.

cologne-loft.com offers a very personalised atmosphere and has not only been the location for film scenes, TV shows and advertising spots but is also an ideal space for photographers as well as for workshops and business seminars.
