 For my first production of the year, I chose the small town of Denia
on Spain's Costa Blanca as the destination. I was already there as a
guest at a production of my colleague, Lars Graf, for a week in August
2002. Lars knows one of the Germans who lives there and rents out two
wonderfully-situated and very tasteful vacation villas, also making
these available for photo and video shoots. I liked these houses so
much that I really wanted to do my own production there this year.
Besides that, I found a few very beautiful outdoor locations on the
coast and inland in that area - we could, for the first time, have the
possibility to combine indoor and outdoor takes with each other!
What's
also new is that, this time, I would be accompanied by a professional
cameraman, Marek from Berlin. I have often been asked if I would also
be able to produce videos during my trips; but I had neither the
equipment nor the know-how for it. Thus I was very glad when I received
the offer from Marek a few months back, to do a video production
parallel to my photo shoots.
Since we'll be in
Denia for an entire week, I've hired four models at once: Melissa,
Romana, Sandra and Nicole. But that's not all: seeing as Marek and I
couldn't possibly keep all four girls busy at the same time and we have
ample space in the two houses, I've invited four other photographers -
amateurs and semiprofessionals - to come along on the trip. So, we'll
turn up in Denia with a troop of eleven people; we've never had so many
people at a shoot. Somehow my endeavors are getting larger from year to
year...
