Meeting good friends and having a shooting is a perfect combination for an easy going day.
Not only you have fun with a friend on the set you also can be very creative with spontaneous ideas.
Like the shooting with my good friend Hans Sigl, a very good guy and a brilliant actor.
He became famous with his caracter in "SOKO Kitzbühel" a criminal TV series in which he played from 2001 till 2006. Besides his acting in TV he also is a very successful comedien with his own programm and he also plays in the theatre. Many know him from the movie "Zodiak - Der Horoskopmörder" (Zodiak - the horoscope murderer). Now he plays the caracter of a doctor in a very famous TV series.
We met in the Hotel am Stephansplatz, one of my partner hotels, where we often accomodate our guests and friends and we also have shootings there. This time I tried different ideas and variations. Also Hans mentioned his ideas and it was really a pleasure because if your "model" is such a creative part its easy and fun for me. We just used a simple flash and the bad weather made the pictures very special.
At this time me and my management had lots of work to do. On the 8th of october may book "Celebrities" will be presented in Munich. Nina Ruge will present the book. A new calendar for 2009 will be presented by Libro at the end of october in Vienna. In November a new exhibition in Stuttgart, Germany at the Gallery Nieser. Meanwhile I have many days with photoproductions. Also the days are filled up with the planning for our trip to California for the end of this year where we will work for a time.
But we keep in touch,
yours Manfred
