Michael Mueller: sports, people, lifestyle photographer for the new large format magazine Reset of his agency, Neubauerschwarz.

"The human in the rhythm of nature. By the water, in the desert, in the mountains, on gravel roads and paths in the forest. In the fog that envelops the landscape and allows the focus on the essential: the feeling of being part of the whole... Calm settles in. Contemplative moments of reset.

With my photography I want to collect these moments and emotions to tell a story. My photographs are visual tales about journeys to distant countries, big cities and lonely mountain worlds - little moments. Moments and emotions the viewer easily understands, gets touched by, feels and experiences through my imagery.

Natural light and the vagaries of the weather provide me with the framework for a scene. Adjustment, flexibility and teamwork are necessary to capture the atmosphere and emotion which in the end touches the viewer and pleases the customer."

Michael has recently shot for clients including About You, Adidas, BASF, Buff, Concordia, DVAG, DKV Mobility, Dynafit, Lidl, Maloja, Odlo, Powerbar, Superdry, and Würth.

Michael Mueller is represented in Germany, Austria and Switzerland by Agency Neubauerschwarz from Munich.

"Do you want to put your next production on a sustainable foundation? Green electricity is part of it! Even if there is no socket around the corner.

That's why we at mobilespace have developed the "Ecobaze": a powerful mobile power station for everyone who doesn't feel like diesel haze around the clock. The "Ecobaze" is a hybrid of a 160-kWh power storage unit and an 80-kW generator. This innovative energy system can reduce CO2 emissions (and also fuel costs) by up to 90%. You can finally put your next shooting on a sustainable foundation even without a mains electricity connection."
