2011-01-24T12:26:00.001+01:00

This poster design we created for German artist Kolja is only still a layout. Kolja did not really like this extreme beauty look, maybe it is the cheesy Bollywood attitude of our artwork.

Two photos of the shooting series we did for rap artist Das Bo and the Backspin magazine, Hamburg.
