Editorial "Chiffon meets Concrete - "Die neue Unsachlichkeit" GEZNO MAGAZINE 2021/04
As an homage to contemporary femininity, photographer Patrick Steinhaus and art director Yana Abramova stage a picturesque photo series.
Tue scenic setting is the "UNESCO World Heritage Zollverein", which was built as an architectural monument of the function-oriented Bauhaus Design ideology.
A production site historically reserved for masculine industrial work, is now being entered by the "New feminine" which raises the symbolism of structural change to an artistic meta level.
Tue brutality of the bare concrete bows to the power of colour. Tue hard line of the "Form Fellows Function" idea gives way to the delicate, playful materiality of the dresses. A space intended for industrial work, now serves creative freedom.
Tue emotional moment in tenderness, diversity and strength breaks up the factualuality.
Tue photographs are an invitation to experience the idea of the „New Emanzipation" emotionally.

The Melon Thing
In 2013 some friends came up with the idea, I could take some pictures of their helmets. The problem was there were no helmets and we came out with that slightly beer drunk idea of realizing the pictures with real melons and some amateur fotomodels off the street and out of the circle of friends.
It was great fun and very healthy to eat melon fruit salad, drink melon juice in the morning and melon with "Serrano Ham" and "Melon & Gin" cocktails in the evening :-)

The Melonists
Monaco - First "Like Bike"
We went down to Monaco with golden helmets in our luggage. After a comprehensive research we finally found a perfect cooperation partner in Schwabach the hometown of the "Goldschläger" handcraft.
Although Monaco has a variety of intresting locations for photoshoots, our choice was a small wardrobe at the "Grimaldi Forum". Availible light shoot with a small light spot coming from the room ceiling.
Thanx to "Electrolyte" for the incredible bikes :-)
Shoot in
Abu Dhabi & Dubai
Photoshoot for local designers in Abu Dhabi & Dubai
We traveled for several days through the United Arab Emirates. Between the mountains of Ras Al Khaimah up north and the desert Rub Al Khali in the south, close to the border with Saudi-Arabia, we found so many photogenic scenery.
As always, the shortage of time was the most unpleasant problem we had.
