In an era obsessed with purpose and meaning, Wolfie chose to just shoot beautiful nonsense. Electric bikes. Swimwear. Cigarettes. Fragments that collide without trying to explain themselves.
Things that don’t normally belong together. Shot from instinct, not intention.
„Keine Liebe verdient“ – Deine Cousine sings against self-doubt
There are relationships that are long gone – and yet you still fight. For the last words. For the power of interpretation. For yourself. In her new single “Keine Liebe verdient” (No love deserved), Ina Bredehorn a.k.a. Deine Cousine talks about just such a moment: when closeness hurts, when every word is right because you know each other too well. And when you almost lose yourself – but then you don’t.

“Ein jeder kennt den perfekten Moment” – for the cover of the 8th Rammstein album “Zeit”, photographer Bryan Adams captured the perfect moment. On 2 shooting days in Berlin, iconic images were created at different locations in front of impressive architecture.
In her article “Metropolitan Scenes”, BZ editor Claudia von Duehren traces the photographic journey that Barbara Wolff undertook through her own city, which then culminated in a selection of over 100 black-and-white photos in an illustrated book and, six months later, is exhibited in a further selection of over 50 prints at the Collection Regard gallery.

Barbara Wolffs photo art book is being discussed in the current edition of Brennpunkt magazine. Take a look into here.
Monika Reize and Regula Fuchs present Barbara Wolff’s book of photographs in this large illustrated article and focus on the special features of Wolff’s photos. A muscular urban body contrasts the protagonists who sometimes even take on something “ant-like”. Over a period of two years, Wolff collected an eclectic mix of motifs that at times resemble a hidden object. Freed from heavy equipment – “unweighted in both senses.”
The articles were published in the Swiss Tagesanzeiger and the Bund.

Originally posted on Instagram, the Berlin images of the Metropolis series are collected in a photography book and published by LUNIK BERLIN Verlag. With a foreword by Marc Barbey (German, English, French).
Wolff’s photographs are not about classic city views. They are about a subjective view of Berlin in the present time. The pictures tell of the inhabitants and their urban environment. Patterns of the city emerge, networks of relationships between people, architecture and (artificial) nature. The multi-layered levels of the photographs take the viewer on an emotional journey through the city. The focus resides in the transformation of the city, provocation and chaos. It is about secrets, as well as about visions. We visit train stations and Berlin’s bodies of water, graffiti walls and crowded shopping malls. But we also see the famous (empty) Berlin squares and stand in front of closed doors of techno clubs in the Corona year of 2020.
Berlin, not easy to describe with words, becomes a tense picture story in “Metropolis, Berlin”. For people interested in photography and Berlin-enthusiasts alike. For those who live in Berlin, as well as those to whom Berlin is a place of longing.
We spent two days with an amazing team and the celebrity photographer Vijat Mohindra photographing 12 different themes for the calendar of the singer Shirin David.
Following the work for the new Rammstein album, we produced the video for Till Lindemanns 2nd solo album for the first single “Steh auf”. Actor Peter Stormare, a shoot in the desert of Kazakhstan, Mongolian riders – these are the ingredients director Zoran Bihac has combined to an impressive work of art.

The new album to the same name of the band Rammstein has just been released and the stadium tour is sold out – we realised the production of various press photos with the Berlin portrait photographer Jens Koch.
All good things are worth waiting for – together with the danish photographer Jes Larsen we realized the artwork for the new Rammstein release.
Wir durften an einer weitere Fotostrecke für Rammstein mitwirken, die von Bryan Adams in Szene gesetzt wurde.

Zoran Bihac restaged the singer of Rammstein for his solo project. If you are interested in a closer look behind the scenes of the shooting and of course in seeing the final music video and it’s belonging trailer, please click here.
We are a bit proud to produce the first video for Till Lindemann’s solo album “Praise Abort” together with director Zoran Bihac – the singer of the band Rammstein had a lot of fun on set!
For this video two separate film shootings were required: In December 2011, we did a three day filming with Eugenio Recuenco at the area of the old hospital in Beelitz. In June 2012, we shot the performance part and other scenes with Zoran Bihać. Both parts were artfully edited by Rob Meyers, we think it paid off!
The video shoot for the piano version of the Rammstein song “Mein Herz Brennt” was created whilst a short power failure occured but we think the result is brilliant! So did the band and decided to use the output off-the-cuff as the main version for the A side of their single.
We did the project management for Rammstein for the complex DVD-Box “Made in Germany.”
