services
Photography
Photography Services for websites, presentations, and other publications. The photographic creation is done with unique photographic equipment, techniques and image stocks and always with an understanding of the wider context of the project. With many years of experience in the art of photography, I often use a portable studio to generate unique results, while maintaining low production costs.
Online Interactivity
Design and creation of interactive multimedia applications for promotional and educational purposes. We aspire to create fresh and dynamic websites of great functionality and simplified information architecture. In the virtual world, where users expect everything to be easily accessible, websites have to be well-focused and well-structured.
Working with the client, we define the requirements, identify the best possible solutions, develop ideas, narratives, visual concepts, and bring all to realization.
Hands-on Project Management | Concept Development | Art Directing
The successful execution of projects involves a seamless collaborative effort of a group of professionals. Choosing the right talents and properly managing and directing the creative production process is a profession in its own right. It is a skill that requires a depth of knowledge in diverse fields such as art & design, copywriting & marketing communications, photography & video, animation and various programming languages.
