Upfront : TUI, MUSIKEXPRESS, Beatsteaks, Dave Gahan

Hamburg-based photographer Sebastian SCHMIDT, impressed holiday providers TUI with his three day photo shoot on the subject of family and couples’ holidays. We have attached the chosen motifs. Sebastian experienced a flashback recently whilst on a shoot for EMI Music, the photos became a homage to the Eighties.

Sven SINDT spent two days with the band, the Beatsteaks, on their successful tour. He captured emotional moments of their show in Berlin. The pictures are published in the current issue of MUSIKEXPRESS. A dream also became true for Sven: he flew to New York to shoot legend, Dave Gahan. The Depeche Mode frontman is releasing a new solo album in October and needed some new photographs to accompany it. We’ll have the pics with you just as soon as they are released.

Paris-based photographer Rebecca SCHWEINS, uses the traditionally calm month of August to experiment in her city. We have attached a selection of the results.
