Arne Gottmann
Author, Hamburg
This journalist and test driver is hap-
piest with a steering wheel in his
hands. He has devoted himself to
anything with wheels for some
20 years. But he did not mind being
a passenger while exploring Paris
with Eva Padberg: “That made the
French capital twice as nice!”
Jim Rakete
Photographer, Berlin
Since his youth, Jim Rakete has set out
with his camera to capture that unmis-
takable look in a person’s expression
on their first encounter. He is currently
preparing the exhibition of a film and
photo series about actresses who portray
characters that they should never have
been allowed to play.
Jürgen Zöllter
Author, Fischach
This freelance journalist from Fischach,
Bavaria, writes features and reports
on people and their cars – with a focus
on high-performance vehicles. “I’ve
driven every luxury model made in the
past 25 years.” He also writes about
motorcycles and historic race cars. It
will therefore come as no great
surprise to hear that Jürgen Zöllter
has a racing license.
Manfred Jarisch and Ulrike Myrzik
Photographers, Munich
These two have been collaborating
since 1993. They specialize in
features, portraits, architecture and
design. “Every new job presents
new challenges. One-size-fits-all
solutions do not exist.
That means
our work is always exciting.”
What else
do they want to photo graph?
“The list
is endless. The tallest towers, the oldest
trees, fog, the ocean, our son Josef.
And Hollywood star Jack Nicholson!”
Christian Eisenberg
Illustrator, Hamburg
His specialty? Detailed 3D portrayals.
His mission? To identify the core
meaning of something and repre-
sent it in such an entertaining
manner that people will understand
it at once. But this illustrator feels
that graphic expertise is only half
the story: “You also need a lot
of patience and excellent concentra-
tion to navigate three-dimensional
realities.”
