Photo workshop

The most important production facility is the large 300 square meter studio with seven parallel recording stations. It offers the possibility of varying all the individual areas into larger recording areas. This rational solution guarantees the ability to react quickly to the changing demands arising from the tasks set. A free-standing cove with a surface area of 90 square meters and corner retraction enables large set-ups for object, advertising and people photography. A radio-controlled large-area light and make-up stations complete this shooting area.

With over 40,000 joules, one of the most modern flash systems in the country is available. The computer-aided recording stations have been modernized in recent years to meet the special requirements of digital recording systems. The in-house WIFI is available in the studio. All recording areas are network-integrated.
