A portrait of an artist itself is named selfportrait. Selfportraits are often one of the most famous works of artists.
In the actual magazine of the "WIENER" I photographed Nelly and myself. How it comes to that? At September 15. I will present my calender in form of a big presentation. There will be a big fashionshow with a lot of topmodels, some of them are also in the calendar. Also we expect national and international celebrities, and so in front of all these people I present my new work.
My new calendar shows very good how hard I worked on my style in the last years, and it shows how interested I am into photography which not only shows a picture rather shows a whole story.
The presentation will be opened and moderated by Doris Golpashin and Pierre Geisensetter our special guest will be the actress Katerina Jacob which you can see in "Der Bulle von Tölz" or other series and movies. And with the end of the year we are once again for a longer time in Los Angeles. So all of these Informations took the "WIENER" and made a great story about Nelly and me. Of course in the style of a magazine for mens, so with a lot of erotic and with great picks from me.
As it was clear that it will be a coverstory, the question was who will photograph the coverphotography? For me it was very soon clear that I will take the picture by myself. With the support of our long time partner Thomas Koppitz with his Stylist Agency we had a studio and a stylist for Nellys hair. The make up did Nelly by her own. Her very cool outfit was from Tiberius in the viennese city. I directed the light, put the camera on a stand and put on it a self timer. So we were ready to start. Because of we thought very much about the cover we had very soon only two final sujets in our head how the picture should look like. Difficult was the fact that we could not see ourself and we also could not see through the camera. But it was very funny and of course something different.
If you are a fan or a friend of photography you should buy the new "WIENER". Now we are flying to our nudeworkshop on Mallorca after it we will photograph the new trend of Youngstyle and then we present my calendar for 2010.
See you soon
Yours Manfred
