Dance with me

As this is a fashion shooting we produced for a fashion label designing wedding dresses I tried to ex-press the movement and the emotional feelings during a marriage. The bride is taking to the unknown viewer/lover asking for a dance, a dance of life.
The technique for this shooting is rather simple. My assistant and me completely darkened by studio, set the camera to very long exposure (couple of seconds) and asked the model not to move during the exposure. Then I walked my way around the model to lit specific parts for her with a simple flash-light. Partly I used red light to get additional colors into the scenery.
So this process together with a slightly movement of the model we got this glowing blurry effect, with makes the series so strong. It´s all handmade with traditional photographic technique, Photoshop or other tools were not used (#nofilter)
As we walked our way through the shooting we got a feeling on what type of movement the model can do and how I wanted to lighten the scenery. There is always a piece of coincidence into all of this, which makes it exiting for all of us.
In general I think that art and especially photography should always allow some imponderables and uncontrollable elements taking part during a shooting – this is the essence of photography."

As a practicing physician specializing in neurology, immunology, and holistic medicine, Prof. Dr. med. Urs Pohlman, the founder and developer of Anane premium natural Skincare, advocates for an integrative healing approach. He emphasizes the importance of the skin in this method, as it uniquely reveals energetic imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and hidden illnesses.
Dr. Pohlman has observed a rise in skin issues that traditional clinical diagnoses do not address. There is an increasing prevalence of weakened immune systems, bacterial, and fungal infections. Often, these conditions are side effects of using inappropriate cosmetics, which can disturb the skin's balance and cause irritation.
In contrast to conventional cosmetics, the medical perspective on aging involves understanding the balance between daily energy expenditure and the rest required for rejuvenation. "Anti-aging" is about enhancing the body's natural regenerative abilities to ensure optimal functioning.
Through years of patient interaction and extensive research at the University Hospital Basel and Duke University Medical Center, Dr. Pohlman acquired interdisciplinary knowledge about the body's complex regeneration processes. He utilized this expertise to create highly effective formulations.
His company, ananné, is dedicated to the responsible use of resources, ethical treatment of employees, and fair trade practices. Dr. Pohlman and his team are committed to making a positive impact on the world.
"We strive to optimize our processes," he explains. "Whether it’s through energy-efficient practices, recyclable packaging, or sourcing fair trade products, we aim to reduce our ecological footprint and conserve energy for everyone involved. I find joy in problem-solving as both a doctor and entrepreneur."
