"If it moves, it’s a task for Wim Woeber. If not, use WD40 or ask a still-lifer!"

Cars, people, children - how can one be specialised in such different categories? The simple link: it‘s all moving. Understanding both advertising and editorial, Wim’s goal is to comprehend his subjects, either cars, planes, children or personalities. This guarantees well planned assignments, great photos and satisfied clients.

He has worked out of his Cologne studio or on location for 20 years, and his permanent team consists of a renowned post-producer and a web developer to cover clients' every need.

As cars belong on the road, he captures movement and dynamics with his team of highly experienced drivers on public roads and racetracks. Beside his automotive work, Wim is currently working on a project supported by the German airforce entitled 'Pure Portraits of Airplanes'.

Kai Schwabe has a passion for food photography. In August 2015 he moved to his 470m² daylight loft studio, located in the 1950s industrial site of the former Borgward car factory. Near central Bremen, the studio is close to motorways and the airport and features ample parking.

Kai is constantly involved in national and international projects for clients including Villeroy & Boch, BelVita, JDE (Jacobs Douwe Egberts DE, Professional Services) and Rama.

He is currently working on a campaign for Miracel Whip, a top product of Mondelez International.

Joachim Fober works out of his studio in Cologne capturing both landscape and architecture pictures using large-format digital and analogue cameras. He experiments with new techniques and makes the best use of the digital medium.

Joachim has developed a visual language capable of telling new stories. He continually works to refine a pictorial idiom; the stories he wants to tell, the feelings he conveys. This is clearly visible in his pictures.
