Simone Thomalla
I got to know Simone one year ago, when I had a shooting with Rudi Assauer in Cologne. Simone accompanied Rudi. As a big football fan and fan of cigarrs Rudi and I had to talk a lot. Simone is an extremely good-looking and strong woman, I was very impressed by her.
After a busy week follows an exciting week-end. So I relax only on Sunday evenings while lying on the couch and watching TV: Tatort on ARD. I was really glad for Simone when I got the message from our friend and Simone`s agent Brigitte Maydt, that she will be the next inspector of Leipzig. The first sequel AUSWEGLOS will be on TV on one of the next Sundays.
Simone went to the shooting to Vienna. A warm-up is essental: We had a breakfast while discussing several ideas and the shooting.
The shooting took place in the Austria Trend Hotel Pyramide, formally known as the Cityclub. I like this location, because the roof is made of glass and so the rooms are full of light. You can work there in a perfect way, and it would also be possible to work only with daylight and only some brighteners from Sunbounce.
I have tried to work with more light. On the one hand I wanted to make some special black and white pictures, very rich in contrast, with a lot of black, low key photos.
Nelly`s Make up is estimated by Sonya Kraus, Juliette Lewis as well as Simone THomalla, she also wanted to get Nelly`s Make-up.
Simone liked the photos, her agent called us. The photos are used for PR etc. and so I am a little proud.
We are looking forward to meet Simone at one of my exhibitions in Germany. She would like to be photographed a second time, so we are looking forward to do so.
Now we go to L.A, where we eill meet some Celebrities and we want to get some tricks about light at the NipTuckset.
See you soon,
Manfred
