DESIGN NAME: Life Intensified
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Photography
INSPIRATION: The aim was to create pictures that work for themselves. There schould be no CGI, which is commos these days in automobile advertising. Four cars in extraordinary colors: Lava Orange, Viper Green, Riviera Blue and Ultra Violet, had to be put into the right and fitting scenery. That was the task and I solved it.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: I was asked to create the pictures for the "Life Intensified" campaign for Porsche Asia Pacific. It was a whole package: I created the stories behind, looked out for the best locations for 4 colorful Porsche Macan S and gathered a perfect team: My assistant and a filmmaker to produce four intense makinf of videos.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The pictures were used for a social media and commercial campaign all over Asia. Later Porsche started an instagram challenge about the claim "Life Intensified". The winners had the chance to enjoy a photograohy masterclass with me in Malaysia.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Shooting: One week in Taipei, Taiwan.
Campaign: August 2017 in Asia.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Photography and Photo Manipulation Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Digital photography with a Phase One XF and an IQ3 100MB back. No additional lights, no CGI.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: This campaign was for social media and advertising in the whole Asia Pacific area of Porsche. Including the making of films and additional making of material.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The approach was to create pictures of the four automobiles in combination with the very vibrant and lively atmosphere in Taipei, Taiwan.
Porsche gave me all the freedom to scout the proper locations and to create the pictures.
I wanted to show real cars in a real scenery, no computer created visuals or backdrops. For each color of the four cars I had to find a different and fitting location/daytime/atmosphere.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part was that we had to shoot in a real and living city. Not in a studio. And we could not block streets or areas. That was sometimes difficult: Where we had a lot of spyce during the daytime while scouting, there were hundreds of scooters parked during the night we wanted to shoot. So we waited and moved the last scooters by hand.
