Kristina Korb : Anne Menke for MARIE CLAIRE, Ernesto GONZALEZ for A MAG and ANIMAL, VOLKSWAGEN Group China, Offroad in Death Valley

Anne MENKE and her team travelled to Cocoa Beach in Florida for the June issue of French edition Marie Claire. Model Michelle Buswell, surrounded by surfers and skaters, presents this season’s bikini trends.

Anne also shot a spread for next month’s issue. She spent two days shooting a road trip story in North Florida at temperatures that dropped to almost freezing. Rebecca Plymate styled the hair on both shoots and Lisa Raquel Baines was in charge of the make-up.

Ernesto GONZALEZ fell in love with the desert on a trip to South Arizona. When A-MAGAZINE, Italy commissioned him with a summer spread, he saw it as the perfect opportunity of shooting a bikini story in the sand dunes.

He sees the dunes as a perfect compliment to the curves of the female body. He scouted the ideal location for the second shoot in a city near the dunes. Ernesto felt that all these places and their vivid colours had a cinematic feel to them. GoSee is pleased to present the results.

Ernesto shot internationally successful model Liliana Dominguez for the new and free ANIMAL magazine. She has already been the face of Yves Saint Laurent and Oscar de la Renta. Ernesto produced a series of intimate portraits for the ‘Sexy’ themed issue.

The DVP China events agency commissioned German designer Marcel Ostertag with a collection based on the 14 new ‘Think Blue’ models by the VOLKSWAGEN Group, China. The results were presented at the Beijing Autoshow 2010.

Art Director Dirk Meycke and photographer Affonso GAVINHA realised the PR campaign. Model Katja D. was styled by MARTINA Rogy, ALEXANDER Hofmann took care of the hair and make-up, both c/o ARTISTGROUPMIERAU (GoSee reported). TheGoodIntention.com was in charge of the production and post production.

The collection was a great success at the auto show and can be viewed on the Volkswagen China website at http://brand.vw.com.cn/thinkblue.

When Pascal DEMEESTER was off road with his motorbike in Death Valley, he thought it was so picturesque that he just felt compelled to take photographs. Pascal hopes that the images presented here on GoSee will convince his clients of the beauty of the gorgeous landscapes, and encourage them to shoot at unusual, unique locations rather than at the usual suspects.
