Here lives Berlin

Client:
GESOBAU AG

Concept & direction:
Jonas Meyer

DOP:

Drone, editing & grading:

In the fall of 2021, East Berlin photographer Sven Marquardt was asked to shoot an extensive portrait series for the state-owned housing company GESOBAU AG. The aim of this production was to make the diversity and authenticity of Berlin’s tenants visible and thus to lay the photographic foundation for the 2022 image campaign. Title: „Hier wohnt Berlin“ („Here lives Berlin“).

Together with DOP Valquire Veljkovic, my task was to accompany the photo production cinematically and to create a concise teaser for the launch of the campaign in June 2022.

Enriched by some spectacular drone shots of Steven Lüdtke, this resulted in an 80-second video (115 seconds for the version with longer credits), which not only takes a look behind the scenes of the photo production. It also, like Marquardt’s photographs, gives a first impression of the diversity of Berlin’s tenants.
