Photographer Barbara Kasten adopts an experimental approach to the medium inspired by the Bauhaus and Constructivism. Often creating abstracted images of interior architectural settings, she uses photography to create dynamic reinterpretations of familiar environments.
Using a variety of materials, including plastic, mesh, Plexiglas, lighting gels, and mirrors, Kasten constructs large-scale scenes that are designed to maximize the contrast between light and shadow and to create as much interior reflection as possible. She then photographs the sets, aiming to capture the geometric and abstract forms created through her treatment rather than the original tableau itself.
Kasten has also created video installations in which patterns of light and shadow are projected onto mirrors, spilling across the gallery space and transforming it into a total perceptual experience.

Brooke Shaden was born in March of 1987 in Lancaster, PA, USA. She grew up near the "Amish Country" until attending Temple University. Brooke was photographically born in December 2008 after graduating from Temple with bachelor degrees in film and English.
She began creating self-‐portraits for ease and to have full control over the images, and has since grown into a self-‐portrait fine art photographer. Self-‐portraiture for her is not autobiographical in nature. Instead, she places herself within environments she wishes to explore, where secrets are exposed, impossibilities are tested, and life is questioned in eras beyond our own.
Brooke works to capture fantastic realities within her photographic frame. By using painterly techniques as well as the square format, traditional photographic properties are replaced by otherworldly elements.

Andreana Scanderbeg (born 1969 in Los Angeles) and Alexander Sauer (born 1971 in Frankfurt am Main) work together as SCANDERBEG SAUER since 2005. The team combines high creativity with extensive experience in the field of international production management and control.
Extremely loud, extremely dirty, extremely distant locations to most of the people – you can bet that there’s where they will be. Their photographic work is primarily focused on the meeting of the corporate, industrial and personal, all characterized by a unique visual expression and consistent vision. In their own words „Our goal is to let your visual communications stand out from the crowd!“

JEAN-FRANCOIS RAUZIER Hyper Photography
JEAN-FRANÇOIS RAUZIER French b. 1952 Jean-Francois Rauzier is an internationally acclaimed photographer, who has had museum shows in Paris, Moscow, Los Angeles and Washington DC. Waterhouse & Dodd is his exclusive agent in the USA, UK and Middle East and has shown his work in exhibitions and fairs in New York, Palm Beach, Miami, Los Angeles, Abu Dhabi, Maastricht and London, selling over 200 of his ‘Hyperphotos' .
Rauzier carefully composes each work from elements and images he has collected over many years, working in some ways more like a painter than a photographer, creating his own supernatural man-made world. Using digital technology, he cuts, moves and constructs buildings, gardens, animals, and many other objects, carefully collected during long photographic sessions to inspire a new fantastic landscape, a capricious picture or a baroque masterpiece. He strives to transform the world according to his dreams, wishes and anxieties, and to recreate the magic and secrecy of ancient legends and stories using 21st century media.

Ola Kolehmainen Photography
In his monumental photographs of modern architecture, Ola Kolehmainen zeroes in on a building’s unremarkable details, reducing facades to simple forms and blocks of color evocative of abstract Minimalist paintings. Titles such as “Milano Wall Painting” confirm this notion as much as the images to which they refer—the photographs in this series feature a mustard-yellow background punctuated by various black and/or off-white linear shapes. Only rarely does an element of a building’s surrounding environment, such as a bird or a cloud, make its way into the frame. Mounted on shiny acrylic glass, the photographs are also notable for their glossiness. Kolehmainen’s work exemplifies the Helsinki School’s dedication to realizing high concept, thematic photographic series. Finnish, b. 1964, Helsinki, Finland, based in Berlin, Germany.

THOMAS POPINGER Photography
Thomas Popinger (born 1958 in Vienna)
Thomas lives and works in Hamburg since 1998 and is one of Germany’s leading interior photographers. In his own words, „I try to blur the borders between reality and fiction“.
This unique look is based on him designing and planning almost all the sets that he works on, and the special focus he puts on outstanding lightning.
Thomas tells us he does not try to imitate nature; rather that his aim is to give his pictures personality and an unmistakeable profile. His remarkable style of photography is trusted for the campaigns of leading brands.

Gaetana (Gae), Aulenti was one of the few Italian women to rise to prominence in architecture and design in the postwar years. Her work includes villas for the rich, showrooms for Fiat, shops for Olivetti, pens and watches for Louis Vuitton, and a coffee table on wheels that is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Gae was best known for her work on interiors, particularly those of museums. She designed museum renovations in Venice, Barcelona, Istanbul and San Francisco. In 1981 she was chosen to turn the 1900 Beaux Arts Gare d’Orsay train station, a spectacular landmark originally designed by Victor Laloux, into the Musée d’Orsay, a museum of mainly French art from 1848 to 1915.

Wyn Bielaska photography
Heinz Wuchner, born 1950 in the dark corners of the black forest, is a still-live photographer specialized in food and liquids.
Settled in Frankfurt am Main he is someone who enjoys experimenting and challenging himself in new fields of his art. Therefore his latest passion became editorial photography (e.g jewelry & food).
Heinz likes to play with the relation of art & craft in photography but would like to always let the technical aspect fade away in respect of the aesthetic. He is a purist that enjoys the clarity and first impact of an image.

WOLF-DIETER BOTTCHER Photography
Wolf Dieter Böttcher
We all are looking at an object and connect it immediately to a function, to a meaning. After that it is identified, classified, checked off. In my work I try to separate the object from the meaning, I look at it in a new approach to give it its own meaning as an object. Out of that new relations between objects are growing. I am interested in the secret life of things.“
…a lemon and an orange side by side cease to be a lemon and an orange. they become fruit. (georges braque)
