MAX VON TREU photographs star influencer Nic Kaufmann at Hamburg’s Montblanc Haus for Mr ICON

The editorial by the name of ‘The Talented Nic Kaufmann’ was photographed and filmed by MAX VON TREU at the Montblanc House in Hamburg for the cover spread in MR ICON. Which talents are we talking about precisely? Young Nic Kaufmann is a fashion and lifestyle influencer with more than 20 million followers alone on TikTok. He is known for his fashion videos and individual looks.

Nic’s mother is from India, his father is German, and he grew up in Singapore before moving to Munich, Germany, where he initially intended to study Business IT. Today, sunny boy Nic lives in Berlin – and posts articles on his day-to-day life and his fashion.

“As a child, Nic Kaufmann read everything he could get his hands on. Montblanc supports foundations that teach children to read and write. Both are popular and quite successful international brands. So, naturally, they were both invited to do a shoot at the headquarters of the luxury goods manufacturer in Hamburg.” MR ICON.

MONTBLANC HAUS tells the story of Montblanc from back when it was founded to the present day: “The story of the women and men who craft the Montblanc writing instruments; of those who have used them to leave their mark on the world. It’s a place that teaches people of all ages the art of writing; that honors the past and celebrates progress; a place about much more than Montblanc: 3,600 square meters, dedicated to all the great stories yet to be written.”

About Max von Treu

Max von Treu has a precise but inquisitive approach to photography. His work has a strong sense of storytelling frequently influenced by cinematic references. 

This should come as no surprise as he studied cinematography in London, is still active in the medium and continues to work with moving images alongside his photographic projects. 

In his work, Max manages to capture truth and intimate moments which manifest themselves in very graphical, almost painted compositions. 

Amongst others he has worked for clients such as Vogue Ukraine, Puss Puss, mytheresa, Marc O Polo, someday, Hugo Boss.
