Stefan Schütz is a Munich-based sports and people photographer. He is always shooting in extremes - whether on sheer rock walls, on skis or on glaciers - no challenge is too difficult for him.

The latest Sport Scheck shooting took him around his home in the Bavarian Alps and Lake Garda in italy. Activities ranged from mountain sports, running to biking. Stefan and his sportive team produced some shots in some dizzying heights.

Jung von Matt/Sport booked Stefan for the 2014 Karstadt Sports brochures series. He went a couple of times to Cape Town for shootings. Mallorca and Munich were the other locations.
Again he was shooting the image campaign for ERNI Electronics GmbH for Jung von Matt/Neckar. The shoot in the swiss alps turned out very tricky after a night of 40cm fresh powder snow.

For the magazine Nido he travelled for two months with his family in a Toyota through Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Pictures coming soon. Please check his website.

Photographers Claus Morgenstern and Per Schorn randomly selected five small towns, one for each week in the southern United States, where they planned out scenes and sought out protagonists. The result was a number of impressive shots.

The series "Assurance elected icons" by Claus Morgenstern shows public elected leaders looking beyond world politics and towards a positive future.

Per Schorn found his characters on the street, in front of garages, in the cinema and even in a boxing club, to help visualise scenes that are happening but are vaguely familiar and known. A feeling hard to grasp, the series is called "Deja vu".

Hamburg-based Eva-Maria Herbert was in charge of post-production.

Jessica´s many years of working in the world of theater have inspired her art and shaped her feeling for mis-en-scène. Her fascination with human versatility first led her to the portraiture of artists, and later to staged couture photography, in which art and advertisement merge.

Her training as a photographer took place primarily in the structural world of architectural photography, which requires an eye for image composition and structure. These influences, theater and the photography of architecture, are the basis and the poles of Jessica´s “photographed stories”- a logical conjunction of the two areas.

Jessica Alice Hath is a BFF Professional Member. She works in Southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland for the most part, with an emphasis on the photography of people, architecture, hotels, fashion, and interior furnishings.

An extensive photo archive supplements the studio's services, as well as in-house post production that covers all areas of electronic image processing, from simple retouching to ready-to-print approved compositions.
