EXHIBITIONS / CEDRIC DELSAUX “Star Wars”
29 August – 28 September 2008
For generations of viewers George Lucas’ Star Wars Trilogy, became a paragon for all science fiction productions of the kind. Images of cosmos and its habitants became modern icons of pop culture.
Our french photographer Cedric Delsaux became enchanted with unforgettable magic of cinematic picture of extraterrestrial world. Using chosen characters, both positive and dark Jedi warriors, robots (R2-D2, 3PO) monsters, etc.; he created a series of portraits of ancient heroes in the present. His characters inhabited empty city spaces, surprising open airs, postindustrial dark places. This helped to change their fictional identity for reality. The artist, recalling the ever-present war between good and evil, lets the viewers choose one of the sides. Everyday city life became a background for the intergalactic story. The series are exhibited for the first time in Poland.

NAJA CONRAD HANSEN FOR THE FASHION BOOK | ZITTY BERLIN
Cover & Illustrations | Naja Conrad Hansen
Berlin is moving, shaking and changing and it is all about fashion…
and it started from here..
“The most convincing argument for Berlin´s ability to produce even
the most elegant designs is the fact that the royal family no longer purchases most of its fashion finery in Paris, but rather right here in the German capital.”
Berliner Modespiegel 1832
The first Zitty Fashion Book is out now!
Go and get it and see Naja Conrad Hansen´s artwork and read in german and english
about the booming “fashion makers” in berlin.
Some of the fashion designers featured, designed a t-shirt exclusively for zitty,
aiming to raise some money for the children of Kinderhilfsprojekt “Die Arche”.
I AM THE PHOENIX personal work for Diesel Wall NYC
I AM THE PHOENIX is about reawakening
expressing the cut off with relationships, either from work, love or friendships.
yes, definitely one of the hardest things in life!
As one leaves the old ideas and concepts behind and is still not able to find new wishes and goals, there is this void to cross in complete loneliness.
This illustration is rendered in ballpoint pen, pilots, markers and assembled with Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Carla was inspired by religious Mexican shrines.
Original is done 28 x 30 cm scale 1/100 , prepared for real size.

“Berlin street art, highly collectible though it has become once it´s hit the galleries,
isn´t the easiest way to transport from its natural element.
But if it were, we´d recommend the MercedesGL.” sleek mag
Plenty of space and fun for you and your friends to cruise around, capturing the life
and art of our vibrant city.
HENRIKE STAHL for SLEEK MAGAZINE
Henrike Stahl for sleek magazine in
where no ad has gone before
In cooperation with Diesel Henrike Stahl was asked by Sleek Mag to extend Diesel´s
idea of radical advertising and create a new one based on old diesel campaigns.
“Henrike Stahl destroys her own photos to make something new, by folding or cutting
them, putting them into a collage or painting over them. In fashion productions she
probably needs to do quite a bit of sweet talking before she can convince models to
put on her animal heads done in oils. Thank God the models in her artwork can´t put
up a fight, since, according to the concept of the campaign they are dead.
Fallen angels to be precise.
No matter how pretty they might be in reality Stahl felt they had something foppish
about them. Her dead grandmother would have been pleased. She liked to remark
“the only thing he´s missing is a feather in his behind.” in response to any extravagant
appearance.” sleek mag
RACHEL DE JOODE for SLEEK MAGAZINE
Perpetual Emotion Machine by
Rachel de Joode for Sleek Mag
“This season H&M plunges deep into all that´s art and artful, inspired by the decadence
of the golden 20s, Pop Art of the 60s and psychedelic prints of the 70s.
All moving, grooving, mixed and matched, inspired by art, this clothing collection serves
as a source of inspiration for art itself.” sleek mag

MEETING JÖRGEN IN 5 QUESTIONS
BORN IN?
I was born in Södertälje, 40 km south of Stockholm
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN PHOTOGRAHPY? As a young vert skateboarder
I wanted to capture what me and my friends did and lived for. I got a
a second hand Minolta camera from my parents and thats where it
started. I instanly fell in love with the feeling of capturing the
moment or even more so, creating it.
WHAT DRIVES YOU TO MAKE PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES?I’d say it’s my constant
curiosity and my genuine interest in people that is the main drive. My
ambition is to share this with the viewer, to give them a glance in to
the spirit of what or whom I catch on film.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE SUBJECT? Anything that beams life, lust, honesty
and personality.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE FORMAT/CAMERA? Basicly I’d say whatever
format that is best suited for getting me the image that I desire. I
love the quality of my PhaseOne back, but the speed of a Canon 1D
Mark3 can
be a bliss as well.
Chuck For Mountain Dew GLA
Mountain Dew GLA
MEETING DIRK IN 5 QUESTIONS
Born in
Karlsruhe
How did you get involved with photography?
At 13 I got a Pentax camera for my birthday. It was a present from my grandfather who was a passionate amateur photographer – he even developed his black and white prints in a tiny lab of his own.
So maybe it was in my genes. Or my grandfather managed to pass on his passion to me. Or both.
What drives you to make photographic images?
Desperation ….. no it’s a joke.
It’s what I do.
It’s what I am.
It’s how I express myself.
It’s the only way I know to perfectly capture a mood, to tell a story without so many words, to make a second last longer than a second.
What is your favourite subject?
Anything that inspires me to tell a story or to look for a meaning beyond the obvious. This could be the Kalahari desert – or else just a simple salt cellar.
What is your favourite technique/camera?
Horses for courses …
I believe in ideas, not in techniques. Therefore, I use a variety of tools, techniques and formats, always choosing those which best fit the idea .
MEETING MURAT IN 5 QUESTION
Born in
the capital of germany:
Dinslaken (NRW GERMANY)
How did you get involved with photography?
during my aprenticeship as a media designer i recognized that i enjoy creating images a lot more than just editing them.
What drives you to make photographic images?
every interesting person i see on the streets, makes me think about new scenarios i could set up, in the studio or on location, to create something new!
What is your favourite subject?
i am really into music photography, because artists are usually really interesting characters…and this is what I enjoy most: shooting people who are not necessarily beautiful but INTERESTING! So, does it take an artist to get in front of murat´s lens – NO! just people with charism…
What is your favorit technique/Camera?
the camera i started out with: a nikon f100 36mm camera

MEETING CARLA IN 5 QUESTIONS
Born in?
I was born in Mozambique, but my family came to Portugal when I was about to turn 4 and since then, besides some years spent living in Prague and Germany, I’ve been living in the same town, Cascais, which is about 25 km from Lisbon.
How did you get involved with illustration?
Since I remember myself as a person (around 3 years-old) that I’ve always loved drawing and was always doing tons of scribbles or doing complete collections of clothes for my paper dolls.
By the age of six I already knew I wanted to study at a school of Fine Arts and wanted to be an illustrator so I studied Painting as there were no courses for Illustration in Portugal at that time, and soon as finished I went to make a post graduation on the subject at UMPRUM (Prague’s School of Applied ARTS).
A couple of years later,when I came back just started to work almost immediately as an illustrator for one of the newspapers magazines I still collaborate at this moment.
What drives you to make an illustration?
I could describe many reasons but the most important one, is the fact that I use illustration to communicate, in some ways much better than I do it with words.
What’s your favorite subject?
Well…as a professional used to work with such a different range of clients I have to keep a dialogue with the text or theme that is given, but I can say that I always tend to put animals in my work and make a kind of sampling of images I observe in the world around me and register in a sort of archive in my mind.
Then I pick them up according to my emotions and give it a new twist in my own quirky way.
What is your favorite technique?
By now I ‘ve crossed through many phases and tried many techniques from acrylics to collage, but at this moment my favourite one is to use ballpoint pen like cheap coloured BIC,markers or Pilots G-tech, compose shadows with pencils and then use Photoshop to assemble the final image.
Jacob for Mirage Magazine | Swimwear
Here’s a preview of a story Jacob did for a new swimwear magazine called Mirage Magazine. His contribution is a 16 pages story in black and white. It was shot on location in Rio de Janeiro featuring Nina Mendes and Gabriel Barreto from 40 Graus Models. The magazine will be out during the S/S 2008 fashion weeks.
MEETING NAJA IN 5 QUESTIONS
Born in?
Copenhagen
How did you get involved with illustration?
I found a blue shoe polish can and painted my sister
and walls blue when I was about 2.
My mother was crying washing my sister when I did it again the next day.
What drives you to make an illustration?
Coffee music and cigarettes (trying to quit)
What’s your favourite subject?
Women + and everything else
What is your favourite technique?
Using my hart and brain, in that order.
MEETING CHUCK IN 5 QUESTIONS
Born in?
I was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
What drives you to make an illustration?
Just the love of creating things, seeing the end results of my work, and seeing the work I do end up in books or magazines or wherever they might be. It’s such a great feeling to see your work printed and out there for the world to see.That’s usually what drives me the most.
What’s your favorite subject?
Probably landscapes. I love working on photography of landscapes and places….however I also love working on photos of people too. Just depends on the project. Some things you see in my work a lot that I love are palm trees, birds, stars, clouds, and atmosphere. I love creating ‘worlds’ that could only exist in your imagination.
What is your favorite technique?
I would say my favorite would be taking a photograph and then putting it into Photoshop then turning it into something much more exciting, colorful, vibrant, and dreamlike.
MEETING MANUEL IN 5 QUESTIONS
Born in?
Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1983
How did you get involved with photography?
I started when I was really young searching a way to bring my drawings and paintings closer to reality.
What drives you to make photographic images?
The constant search of an image that contains the past and future of its protagonists, and tells a story.
What’s your favourite subject?
The thin line between the real world and what is beyond us.
What is your favourite format/camera?
I don’t have one. It depends of what I’m trying to tell. Each format lets you approach work in different ways.
Hearty Kiss from Naja
love can save your day…
What a day by the sea could look like…

MEETING TODD IN 5 QUESTIONS
Born in?
Virginia Beach, Virginia in the United States. About a 7 hour drive south from my home in New York.
How did you get involved with illustration?
I’ve been drawing and painting since i was a young child, taking art classes in and out of school. But it wasn’t until I got into the Old Donation School for the Gifted and Talented, which really pushed me to explore all types of media and resources, that i found a class in illustration. I knew it was my passion then.
What drives you to make an illustration?
Sometimes i just feel creative and i play. Other times its seeing other artists work that inspires me to create. Even the small things, like a crushed soda can on the street can spark creativity.
What’s your favourite subject?
I’m heavily influenced by the gestural and flowing line movement of early 20th century hand illustration and the silkscreen stencil work of ’60s and ’70s pop art. I love using bright and vivid color, heavy patterns and layering. I’m fascinated with women and they are the subject of most of my work. I love how such a slight change in movement and curves or an expression can manipulate the entire feel of my work.
What is your favourite technique?
I keep paper and ink pens handy on my desk because i’ll go back and forth, from sketching to digital. If i don’t go into a project with a concept already planned out, i’ll sketch around ideas on paper until i come up with a solid direction. Most of my final artwork though is done digitally. Its still so new to me. I didnt have a computer at home or even in school until college, so i grew up using sketchpads, newsprint, and everything else known to man for art projects.
CEDRIC DELSAUX in PHOTOGRAPHIE MAGAZINE

Lorenzo Petrantoni about his work. “I “steel” images from old books and ancient volumes and then I put them together following aesthetic rules that have to do with my love for graphic design. This is how my art work comes to life, giving new meanings to images that would be otherwise buried between pages of old books.”

Please find the honoured images below.
MEETING RAFAEL IN 5 QUESTIONS
Born in?
Belo Horizonte, a mountain city in southeast Brazil.
How did you get involved with photography?
It first happened when I was studying to be an Architect; I started flirting with the camera and finding joy in making interesting images. I truly discovered I was going to be a photographer after an internship with celebrity photographer Bob Wolfenson in São Paulo. It was clear to me the second I stepped his old Blow-Up-like studio.
What drives you to make photographic images?
It’s simple, I like making beautiful things; I’m fond of beauty in general. It’s also wonderful that in photography, as opposed to architecture, I’m in control of the whole process, from composition to print.
What’s your favourite subject?
Slightly weird situations. I also like good advertising, with simple and clever ideas.
What is your favourite format/camera?
That depends on the subject, the situation, and how much time I have to shoot. The camera and the medium are less important than the concept and the composition, so sometimes all it takes is a snapshot from my cheap 35mm Olympus Epic. Most of the time I shoot with a high-end digital camera, though.

MEETING INA SCHOOF IN 5 QUESTIONS
Born in? Cologne
How did you get involved with photography?
Actually, I got involved with photography more by chance.
After working as an au pair in Milan, I planned on doing nothing.
But as doing nothing did not work out for me, I started accompaning my friend who was studying at a Photograhic Art School, in Perugia.
That’s how it all began ..
What drives you to make photographic images?
Pictures! I love pictures and I want to make my own.
I remember going to an exhibition that was called ‘I love pictures’..and there was a wall full of all kinds of images..I felt at home. This wall perfectly reflected my passion for pictures, this passion won´t let go of me!
What is your favourite subject?
People in natural surroundings..landscape, subjects that are multi-layered.
What is your favorit technique/Camera?
I prefer taking staged pictures while using the equipment that is most suitable to underline a specific mood. I work with digital most of the time.

Interview in Beautiful/Decay
January 17th, 2008
The lovely Sasha Lee from Beautiful/Decay, recently made a interview with me about my vision and approach to photography, aesthetic influences etc. It’s featured on their site as per today. Click to read the full interview.
Beautiful/Decay Anthology
Fashion, portrait and landscape photographer Jacob Langvad creates stunning, iconic images that traverse a wide range of subject matters, concepts and geographic locations. His unique vision has earned him accolades and internationally published advertising campaigns with companies such as Eastpak, Nike and Nokia. B/D recently interviewed Jacob to discuss his vision and approach to photography, his aesthetic influences, favorite shoots and exciting upcoming projects.
SL: So why were you originally drawn to photography?
JL: Well, It started very long time ago when I was about 15 or so. I found my dad’s old SLR and got curious. I loved drawing before that, and everything visual. Then I built a small darkroom in our apartment and got hooked on photography. In high school I ran the school magazine with some friends and loved writing and photographing for it. Then I heard about the possibility of getting an education as a photojournalist and thought that was it! Oh, and our neighbor’s son was a photojournalist at the local newspaper. I think I owe him a big part of it as well.
SL: What were those early pictures like, with your Dad’s old SLR?
JL: Oh my…. I can hardly remember. Black & white, a lot of structures, surfaces, shadows etc. I liked riding around on my bike to deserted areas, like harbors or fishermen’s shelters. Then I would take pictures of it. Actually, when I think of it, it’s pretty much the same when I’ve been in the states and other places. I like to just book a ticket somewhere and a rental car and then drive around for 2-3 weeks by myself and photograph landscapes and portraits….
SL: What about photography appealed to you more than drawing, which you persued earlier?
JL: Well, I wasn’t a big talent in drawing. I was just drawing cartoonish faces etc. I guess I didn’t have the patience to take it further. I never considered that.
I was much more interested in journalism and found a way to combine the visual with journalism. However, during the photojournalism education I got quite disillusioned about a future as photojournalist – because most people end up at newspapers doing too many jobs a day and the pictures get printed in low quality. I had some fellow students who were experimenting with other expressions and some did really nice personal work. They kind of opened up the idea of taking it further, away from classic photojournalism. After graduating, I received a scholarship at FABRICA (fabrica.it), which is Benetton’s communication research center. Do you know it?
SL: No, I’m not familiar with it?
JL: It’s a very interesting place. They invite young creative people from all over the world to come and work for them and together for a year.
SL: So I noticed on your site you have three different categories- landscape, fashion and portrait photography. What’s your approach to each divergent subject matter- and what are some of the considerations you have to take into account when working within these different genres?
JL: Hmmm. I really like all three genres a lot. I just uploaded a few more landscapes today from the latest project I’ve done for Nike. I love fashion photography a lot, like working in studios with other people. The landscapes are usually more personal work, but I want to make much more landscapes in the future. It’s difficult to explain what exactly are my criteria, but for me they all have some mysterious feeling that makes you keep looking at the photo. I try the same with the fashion and portrait. I really like doing portraits. Some people say they can recognize when they see one of my pictures in a magazine. Maybe it’s the atmosphere or the look in peoples eyes, I can’t tell.
SL: Yeah I really enjoy the landscapes as well. They remind me a little of Andreas Gursky at times?
JL: Oh… that’s a big compliment! He’s one of my heroes.
SL: Some of the images that show macrocosm/microcosm in a poetic fashion sort of touch upon Gursky’s themes. Some of your images have some really beautiful moments. When organic forms and man-made structures have these odd dialogues and interactions.
JL: I wish I could work like him. What I like about being a photographer, is that I can keep developing my own language for as long as I work.
SL: So you mentioned Gursky…what other artists do you admire?
Or…who or what are the biggest influences on your own visual style?
JL: I’m a big fan of Nadav Kander, Ben Stockley, James Nachtwey. I could mention so many…I like Timur Celikdag a lot, and Alasdair Mclellan, Taryn Simon, and Joel Sternfeld.
SL: So what was one of your favorite shoots?
JL: I really enjoyed doing the Eastpak shoot. (Around no. 17 under portraits on the the website.) It was a big production in Costa Rica. We had plenty of time to find locations and prepare; was a big challenge and fun and hard to make.
JL: The job I mentioned before for Nike was quite a perfect job for me as well.
SL: Yeah can you expand on that one too?
JL: The company I work in, which is a kind of design studio with a sociologic approach, we commissioned (together with our sister company) to do a market research on football culture in South America. So I was traveling in Mexico, Argentina and Brazil doing portraits and landscapes. The final book is almost 400p with 185 pictures of mine. It looks really nice.
SL: So any exciting projects coming up?
JL: There are a lot of projects here in this company… Some of them very interesting, but I’m not sure I can tell too much about them. We’ve won a big project for Unilever concerning a new product. So I will go there in a couple of weeks to make a lot of portraits and landscapes. Then my company will start producing small booklets with one subject per issue, 4 times a year. We’ve almost completed the production of the first one which is about street basketball here in Brazil… It’s interesting for us because it’s a completely American sport with so much focus on apparel and music. So we were investigating where they got their influences from and how the whole society around the sport worked.
Do you know COLORS magazine? (www.colorsmagazine.com)
SL: No, I’m not familiar?
JL: They were situated at FABRICA in Italy. I worked for them while I was there and became friends with one of the art directors on the magazine. He is the one I am working with today in Brazil.
SL: Can you describe the concept of the magazine and how your work fits into that?
JL: Colors or ours?
SL: Both?
JL: The booklets are quite similar in the approach to the subjects as Colors. I mean it was through Colors Magazine I heard about Fabrica.
Anyway… the concept is to describe one subject per issue. It could be street basketball, conception of beauty in India, orchard industry etc etc. I’m working with an anthropologist, a journalist, a designer and some researcher. Some of the issues will be more ‘free’ and some are produced so we later on can approach potential clients to show how we work or to show we have a big knowledge on a given subject… and then we really enjoy doing projects like this. I still have a big interest in photojournalism, but I’m not interested in shooting for newspapers…. This is an amazing opportunity to explore and produce. The booklet is a way to brand our company.
SL: Thats all the questions I had…Is there anything else you’d like to add?
JL: Hmm… can’t think of anything. Thanks!
