-Fussvolk-
I was asked if I could do a lookbook for the Label Fussvolk by Atair and ended up doing concept, locations, settings, models, shootings, postproductions, slogans (other then „bist du glücklich?“). It was a challenging task with a lot of fun and wonderfull moments. Layout by Pina Uhse. It all happened before colourfull socks became trendy and everything was shot on film, scanned and then postproducted.
-shins and cheeks- 99 european skateboarder
In 2010 Gunnar Nicolaus and Jo Hempel photographed 99 european skateboarder at the European Skateboard Championschip in Basel. This double portraits show the face and the shins. Despite the heterogenity of the scene, scars and wounds can be found on all skateboarders shins from beeing hit by the board. Wondering what archaeologists will think if they one day excavate a graveyard with skateboarders. idea: Jo Hempel, concept: Jo Hempel/Gunnar Nicolaus, postproduction: Gunnar Nicolaus, layout: Pina Uhse
