New cookbook for three-Michelin-starred chef Christian Bau
When you have the chance to make a cookbook with a three-Michelin-starred chef, then your mood is bound to improve. When the chef in question is none other than Christian Bau, then you can't help but to put your hands on your head in sheer disbelief at your luck. But to show that we also put our hands on the camera, we shot a few making-of photos during the shoot. The cookbook will hit shelves in October - and we'll publish the results on our website then as well.

Portrait photography, or "when chefs get arrested…"
Christian Bau and Jan Hartwig, two three-Michelin-starred chefs from Germany came together to create a 4-Hands-Dinner at Schloss Berg. Just imagine the powerful symphony of flavors - a true explosion of taste. We took care of the mugshots of the two infamous planters of flavor bombs and - quite voluntarily - also secured the evidence of the culinary fireworks.

Baking bread - crusts as crispy as our shots!
When shooting for a recipe book about baking bread, there will certainly be a lot of bread, spicy and sweet pastries on the set - this is what we thought. And this is how it was. The smell of fresh pastries made us work even quicker, because after the shoot we got to sample everything.

Product photography for ceramic manufacturers Gmundner Keramik
The manufactory of Gmundner Keramik is all about ceramic products made by hand in Austria. Every piece is unique and simply perfect. Taking shots of the plates you used to eat of as a kid is a special experience. In total, we shot about 2500 products from Gmundner Keramik, including bowls, cups, milk jugs, water jars, vases and even egg cups. What a beautiful product photography job.
