When we received confirmation from our customer for this order for event photography and portrait photography got to photograph a meet and greet with a secret celebrity, the excitement in the photo studio was huge. Which VIP do you think it is? About Thomas Gottschalk, Chris Martin or maybe Anke Engelke? Which location is planned for the event? Is there maybe even a camera team on site?
And of course the most important question for us photographers: Who is allowed to photograph the order for event photography and portrait photography with the secret personality? The big puzzling in our photo studio started, and the place and time were kind to me. I was so excited and excited to see which celebrity I would meet!
A few days before the appointment I received more details. The meet-and-greet was to be shot in a posh suite in the luxury hotel Sofitel in Munich. In addition, as already suspected, there should also be a camera team on site that would capture the event in moving pictures. The secret VIP turned out to be the extremely likeable Guido Maria Kretschmer from Münster. The fashion designer, who became known through television programs such as "Shopping Queen", is now also an author and television juror for the talent show "Das Supertalent" with Dieter Bohlen.
My task now consisted in Event Photography as well as portrait photography, together with the camera team photographing a breakfast with three mother-daughter couples and Guido Maria Kretschmer. I was able to let off steam creatively in an extremely relaxed atmosphere for more than three hours. For me as a photographer, there was a wide range of motifs: conversations at breakfast were just as much a part of it as portrait photos, group photos and detail shots of the suite. You can see the result below – I hope you like the pictures!
Incidentally, the extremely likeable designer lived up to his reputation. I was very touched by his endearing personality, his interest in other people and his big heart. Guido's style is exactly as he presents himself in his shows: authentic, warm and open. The fifteen-strong team that filmed on set and organized the event really made it very easy for me to take great shots of the winners of the meet-and-greet with Guido Maria Kretschmer - once again a big thank you from me at this point !
