Photographers Love Actors and Comedians
Why? Because you can let loose a bit. I also enjoy taking business portraits and headshots; special assignments bring extra variety.
A comedian takes current topics and pokes fun at them, exaggerates them, and challenges them. Sometimes he pushes to the edge, smoothly navigates the curve, provokes thought—and laughter. With “ordinary” or downright boring photos, he can hardly begin. Sometimes he even takes himself on the spot.

His previous show dealt with quirky questions:
- Can you inhale Botox directly from a barrel?
- Do plastic bags in the ocean count?
- Is home oil drilling a thing?
- Or would you rather annoy your partner?
During the shoot, his rhythm maker, the garbage collector, became a prop. He placed his raised index finger into the small and large wounds of society, time, the world, and the wonderful zeitgeist.
Thank you, Werner, for your full commitment in the studio and in front of my camera!
