KRUMELUS – inspired by the fantasy panel from Pippi Longstocking – a journey of growing up. Sebastian worked closely with Romina Schenone (styling) and Sven Ohlsen (hair & make-up). The series of images tells of the quiet rebellion to retain a piece of the childlike self. Full of play, dreams and quiet retreats. KRUMELUS is a poetic journey about lightness, excessive demands and the depth of being.

The large-format motifs presented during FOTOGIPFEL OBERSTDORF show the visual exploration of the theme of HUMAN by the SPARTS interdisciplinary arts collective at a particularly challenging time for young people. The artists worked closely together for the exhibition to visually represent their worldview and their exploration of humanity in the motifs on display. The result is a series of works that are also intended as a symbol of human coexistence.

The world of PUREFAME is inspired by the colors and textures of nature, the scent of summer and the sea. The longing for freedom and naturalness is also reflected in the current campaign: we show people with character - unfiltered, authentic and timelessly beautiful. I am responsible for the brand image and the campaign shootings for the brand.

In the DREAMSELL series , I show how Thailand stages a flawless façade for tourists. Paradise beaches, exotic markets, unforgettable experiences. But behind this illusion, authentic culture often takes a back seat and is overshadowed by mass tourism. The images provide a glimpse into the hidden reality behind the staged perfection. The photos were featured in ANGEL NUMBERS magazine.
