hetzner.produktion has been working for many years with a wide variety of photographers and directors for a diverse range of clients.

The focus, somewhat coincidentally, is on transportation, but productions for fashion, people, and general advertising have also been realised with the same enthusiasm. These productions have taken place locally in Berlin, throughout Germany, and in various locations across Europe, South Africa, Chile, Turkey, and Morocco, for example.

hetzner.produktion's large network and extensive archive locations have proven to be very helpful, especially in the pre-production phase.

"At the moment, my main specialty is product design; I have been working in this field for more than 10 years. I am engaged in interfaces, solving business problems and user scenarios.

At the same time, I have always aspired to creativity and learning new tools, from freehand drawing and photography to 3D graphics and animation. Ai for me is a means of self-expression. I'm exploring the possibilities of Midjourney, I'm drawn to exploring the boundaries.

I am in an endless dynamic experiment to find the uniqueness of images; sometimes quite unexpected results inspire me. Now I am fond of portraits close to photorealism. I am a follower of minimalism, in the center of my works is an image in classical angles. In these images, you can see a mixture of ethnicity, religion, other worlds and fashion."
