Life’s Too Short episode 1! :D
The new show from Ricky Gervais is absolutely fantastic.
From Wikipedia: Life’s Too Short is an observational sitcom series, created and written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, from an idea by Warwick Davis, and is described by Gervais as about “the life of a showbiz dwarf”, with Davis playing a fictionalised version of himself. Gervais and Merchant appear in cameos as themselves. The show began airing on BBC Two on 10 November 2011. Premium cable channel HBO, who co-produced the series with the BBC, has picked up the US rights and will air the series in 2012.
Philips 3D Shaver: Beach 3.
One of my commercial shoots: Photos featuring Chinese models as wallpapers. Those were downloadable on a Philips microsite. It was for the launch of a new “3D Shaver”. The idea was to show four different women: A model, an artist, a office worker and an CEO. Thus, we shot on those four locations. This is the thrid photo of the beach girl.

Music Video: Yang Baby – “Kiss You Again”
I’ve been so busy in the last months that I even forgot to post this music video which we shot. It was finished in the beginning of August, days before I flew to Japan to shoot Souls of Zen, so I completely lost track of everything due to the jetlag, shoot and unavailable internet connection in Japan. We shot it with two Canon 5D Mark II’s at a place called “Potato Beach” as well as in the Saarbrücken Music University. It took two days to shoot it and a couple more to edit it. Enjoy!
