"I’m afraid of what I feel / You are ready / Am I ready?" Star DJ Felix Jaehn was photographed with his car for MERCEDES magazine by photographer Jens RÜSSMANN c/o DOUBLE T in Austin, Texas. The successful and congenial young musician has been getting the world up and dancing for years and has just made two big headlines – both for the release of his first album entitled "I" as well as for his coming out, which he deals with in the song ' Don’t Say Love' – an both made a big splash.
MERCEDES magazine writes about photographer Jens Rüssmann: "A shoot in Texas? Jens Rüssmann had a whole set of clichés in mind. Cowboys, bright yellow prairies, lots of meat. But Austin really surprised him. The city is full of music, graffiti, students and lives and breathes an infectious hippie spirit. Fortunately, one cliché tuned out to be true: The photographer got to eat the biggest barbecue of entire life in Austin. "Production: Supersonic Production from Hamburg; the assistant was Trent Perret.
