Since I started my photography career I was commissioned by production companies or represented by agents who
produce the work but as well I am producing many photographs on my own. Often this is because the creatives/client
want a complex image that normally wouldn't be possible in terms of timing or budget.
With my hand picked
team of collaborators I am always perfectly prepared for any situation. Planning the
whole production with the experience of more than a decade adman, foreseeing all what can go wrong before it goes
wrong. This quality is also very welcome in that case when I am commissioned by
other production companies.
With my team, we do offer as desired the whole service from scheduling, managing the
budget, casting, location-
scouting, styling, negotiating fees and releases and
of course organising the shoot itself and all the post production.
We care that
the production runs perfectly smooth that you can concentrate on the creative
part and get
only the best
results. We deliver great visual stuff no matter if the brief
is a big or a small one. We dedicate to any project
with the same enthusiasm. We can also deliver just part of the production to complete the work of another company.
Here are some examples of work produced by "the unknown artist studio" for different clients:
Corporate shoot/ personalized Image Bank:
We recently photographed and produced a wide range of photos for one of the leading companies in Germany for tele
assistance ¨Die Johanniter¨. The personality we choose, the environment, how to represent the service, color, tone, light, look and feel,... everything is adjusted to the communication strategy of the client. Since all production costs are spread over 40 images, the price per image is very competitive. The client has obtained an image bank for all his communication needs transmitting exactly what he needs to communicate. Production: the unknown artist studio.
Reasonably priced Video content:
We recently shot a video of the BMX championship. With two cameras we captured loads of details and made a short video. We had to avoid interferences with the race because it was a competition and the riders could not repeat the situations for the camera. Everything was shot live. What makes this an interesting example for producing reasonably priced video of sports events. Production: the unknown artist studio.
The strength behind the unknown artist studio is its inhouse team. We combine our set building and computer
skills with our efficient and responsive organization and we always find a very reasonable way to get best results.

The new Master's Gin campaign of FCB Spain needed an authentic historic look. This was achieved by a well-focused
casting of models and locations and a final retouching adding all the charm we are likely to lose in the digital area.
Production: the unknown artist studio.
My new series of portraits for the Sunday Times Magazine. "The forgotten Victims." We shot alongside the annual convention of the association of thalidomide affected people and the least thing the participants had in mind was queuing up for our photographs. So we had to get close to them and organized the situation that they could feel confident to show their great personalities. We had to work very quick and spontaneous. In the end also the portrayed people were very happy with their images, what I think is very nice. Director of Photography of Sunday Times: Jon Jones, Reporter: Caroline Scott, Production of the photographs: the unknown artist studio.
This editorial was for the H-Magazine. I set up a lightning to make it more special and shot the students while training.
This is the way I use to produce content series when a more sophisticated look is desired. Production: the unknown artist studio.

Once a campaign is tested and approved it can be a mandatory to create the real photograph very, very close to the
sketch. This example shows what we did for Saatchi & Saatchi Health. The agency created with the illustrator Chema
Bercial the sketch on the left. The production of this campaign involves a very intense search for props, casting,
decoration and in the case of the teddy, bow and feathers the only resource was to manufacture them ourselves.
Production: the unknown artist studio.
