Per Appelgren
Berlin
Per Appelgren is an 80s born German-Swedish fashion and beauty photographer based in Berlin.
His photographic journey began as a self-taught and later continued as part-time assistant, where he worked his way up to be mentored for three years in the artistic hub of Berlin.
Before embarking on his photography career, he graduated with a degree in Business Administration and International Politics. However, the desire to express himself and his artistic vision behind the lens led him to follow his heart and explore the world of photography.
His work blurs between the lines of beauty & fashion and is characterised by a bold use of colours, angles and expressions - allowing each talent to shine and giving them a stage to express themselves without any boundaries. He strongly believes in celebrating diversity and the power of images to inspire and evoke emotions.

Mirjam Kluka
Zurich - Hamburg
"Driven by an impulse to capture the beauty in my subjects, I infuse a balance of playfulness and focus into my work.
A joyful and relaxed mood on set complements my work, which is marked by the charm of the unexpected, a fascination with light, and elation with the human as my muse."
Mirjam Kluka, born 1981 in Aarau, Switzerland, is an independent photographer specialised in portrait, beauty and fashion, working and living in Hamburg and Zurich. A Swiss photographer with Czech origin, she takes pictures of what she loves most: people.
Her compassion as well as warm and positive personality allow an atmosphere on set which enables unique pictures that are proof of deep trust. At the same time, she is obsessed by the quest for capturing the perfect moment and goes to great lengths and into finest details to reach this goal.
Empathy and perfection form the basis of her photography, and the result is the best possible interpretation of truth and essence.
