… Ms. Luckmann ?
“We’ll only know that at the moment when ‘Tomorrow’ turns into ‘Now’ …,
since our ‘Tomorrow’ consists of an undefined mixture of seized oppor-
tunities, coincidence, luck and destiny that one can perhaps influence, but
cannot possibly control.”
Anke Luckmann has photographed many famous personalities. The photographer lives
in Barcelona and was the perfect choice for the photo shoot with Prof. Rupert Stadler and
Pep Guardiola in Munich’s Allianz Arena.
… Ms. Philippi ?
“To me, tomorrow – the future – feels like this : I imagine an enormous city
in which everything is very quiet, where the noise is turned o and the air
is as clear as it is in the Alps. I find the idea extremely eerie and extremely
natural at the same time. In the future, no one will want to have to deal
with exhaust emissions or trash anymore. Both of these things will almost
magically disappear.”
Anne Philippi lives as an author in Los Angeles where she took to the road for us in
an Audi A3 e-tron, in a place where sustainability is a part of the lifestyle.
… Mr. Kaessmann ?
“Dicult question, and one I’ve actually been trying to get away from for years.
Instead, I prefer to increasingly ask myself : How does today feel ? After all, only
‘Now’ is it possible to influence ‘Tomorrow.’ But since ‘Tomorrow’ is really just
a new ‘Now,’ and ‘Now’ feels extremely satisfied, happy, positive and optimistic,
shouldn’t it follow that ‘Tomorrow’ also feels this way ?”
Photographer Rasmus Kaessmann lives in Munich. He captured David Garrett’s virtuoso violin
performance in Berlin with his camera.
… Mr. Hauschulz ?
“I live very much in the here and now. For my photography this means that I am
delighted at every technical evolution. They help us to develop new possibilities
for composition, to visualize new worlds and to show the unseen. The technology is,
however, of secondary importance ; it is just a tool. A good photograph is always
a combination of ideas, talent, instinct, personal experience and passion. It is created
in the mind and not in the computer. And that will never change.”
Olaf Hauschulz lives in Hamburg. He specializes in the photography of cars and accompanied us
to Lamborghini in Italy.
