GIORGIO ARMANI delightfully opted to dress the BAYERN MÜNCHNEN players, so that CHRISTIAN KAUFMANN’s next photo shoot was booked for Säbenerstraße in Munich. Now Philipp Lahm, Frank Ribéry, Robert Lewandowski and the others, don’t just play good, they look extra good.
CHRISTIAN KAUFMANN once again photographed a selection of celebrities. He shot portraits of celebs including Bastian Schweinsteiger and pro cyclist Marcel Kittel, actor Bernhard Bettermann & Steve Windolf, musician Jonathan Jeremiah and profiler Alexander Horn, who has published his first book. Also part of the action: 3X world goal keeper Oliver Kahn plus director/writer/actor Christian Ulmen. And the ‘long-term subscription’ with Sarah Wiener couldn’t be left out either... check out the dynamic results here on GoSee.
Cyclist pros John Degenkolb and Marcel Kittel kept their cool for a TOUR Magazine shoot. And if you look at the videos of the cycling race, the photographer clearly preferred shooting them off the street.
Amateur models travelled to Munich from all over Germany to pose with various utensils for the LINDE Gas working with gas ad images. The agency responsible was Bloom with Art Director Holger Wiesenfarth. Uschi Renoth headed up the styling. The shoot was elaborate in terms of preparation, but definitely worth the effort. See preview image attached.
And just in time for the national league season kick off, the record breakers of 1. FC BAYERN MÜNCHEN gathered in front of CHRISTIAN KAUFMANN’s lens to shoot autograph cards and the yearbook. Stars included a smiling Bastian Schweinsteiger, cool Mario Götze and glowing Arjen Robben. There were additional shots of a couple of players, such as David Alabe for HYPOVEREINSBANK.
When FC Bayern München’s master celebrations kicked off with sponsor MAN, CHRISTIAN KAUFMANN could join in the fun as he had already wrapped the production, having shot all the images, including an ad image for Ogilvy & Mather.
After twelve years with the male pros, CHRISTIAN KAUFMANN could finally shoot BAYERN MÜNCHEN’s women’s team. Certainly equal to their male colleagues when it came to coolness, charm and confidence, but with much more time…
To mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the wall, Franziska von Almsick and Matthias Sammer – representative of the athletes in the former GDR – posed for CHRISTIAN KAUFMANN’s camera in a shoot that would be sent out to every German household as part of Bild newspaper’s special photo edition on 9 November 2014. Hair and make-up artist Doris MARKO c/oARTISTGROUPMIERAU supported the photographer on set.
