# Dino, you are working as a model. How did you start?

Getting started was quite a long story. I got scouted on the streets a couple of times when I was around 16, but I always said no because I didn’t think I had any potential and didn’t consider myself very pretty at that time. When I was 18, friends convinced me to accept the next offer I got from an agency, because they got tired of me putting offers down. I said OK, thinking it wouldn’t happen anyway... and the next day my mother agency approached me and that’s how it all started.

# What are your experiences with the model business? What do you like and what do you dislike?

I love the travelling, meeting new friends, seeing places you would otherwise never have been able to get to, and for me as a photogra-pher, I love working with other photographers creating pictures. I’ve always loved magazines, and to find myself in them is quite a special feeling. But I would say the downsides of modelling are pretty much the same. Travelling can sometimes be exhausting, you don’t always find people you like, and you can feel very alone, and sometimes you get pictures you just don’t

like, which is something that bugs me the most, because as a photographer I put great value in the quality of pictures. Also partying can be dangerous. It is inviting and many models get trapped in the nightlife and forget about the reason they came for.

But all in all, I love my job. There might be some negative aspects about it, but I think every profession has its own up- and downsides. And I feel very blessed getting the opportunity to live the life I live right now at my age.

# Which were your favourite shows so far? Which labels would you love to work for in the future?

Definitely walking the SS2014 Calvin Klein Platinum Show. It was a big casting, so I felt honoured to be handpicked for this kind of event. It all felt unreal, I just couldn’t even take it all in. The stage was huge and absolutely beautiful, the setting was breathtaking, all the top models I look up to were there, and the clothes were amazing. Also Kevin Carrigan was the nicest guy. He made everybody feel good about themselves and the feeling of being allowed to walk for Calvin Klein was just amazing. I remember getting on the runway and just thinking, how unreal this situation was. A

moment I will never forget.

In the future I would love to walk for Pra-da, I think. The shows are always beautiful, and they always come up with something that is totally different and new. I’ve loved watching their show for years already and to be part of the creative process with a brand I admire so much would be an amazing experience.

Also, Burberry is on top of the list. I love how wearable all of their pieces are and the shows have such an elegant feeling to them. The music, the stage in combination with the clothes – coats especially – is always beautiful, and it would be great to be part of it.

# You started also working as a photographer. How did it come about that you’re now doing both?

I actually did photography before I start-ed modelling. I was always interested in the fashion world, especially the creative part of magazine editorials. I always loved how you create a world that doesn’t exist in reality. It gives you so much space to experiment and express yourself.

So when modelling came up, I thought I could

use it to learn more about photography and maybe even work with photographers I admire. This was actually one of the main reasons why I decided to give modelling a shot.

And I haven’t been disappointed yet. I feel my photography took a huge step forward because of modelling.

# Do you have a strong focus on one of them?

Obviously, modelling is taking a bigger part right now, since it is my full-time job at the moment. But I always try to keep my photography going with it. I work on it whenever I can, but it is just hard to organise shoots, when you are travelling constantly. So many pictures happen spontaneously. I want to change that in the future, though. I want to focus more on the photography and set up bigger shoots, since I

still have so many ideas in my head I want to finally see happening.

# What influences your photography? Have you already developed a certain style for your photography?

Many things influence my photography: my moods, where I am, who I am surrounded with, the amount of time I can spend on my pictures. It all comes together when I work. I also think I’m finally starting to develop a style that is more myself. It is getting darker in my images. I love moody and faded pictures that are abso-lutely non-commercial. I also love to create new worlds in my shoots. But I hope that my style will get more and more distinctive in the future and that I will be more daring and try out new things. There is still so much I have to learn and so much to work on.

# Where do you get your inspirations from?

People. I get inspired by people’s fac-es. I am not big on landscape or documentary photography, and I admit that I am just not good at capturing the beauty of these things. Just beautiful faces give me ideas. I see someone, and I know how I want her or him dressed, where I want to shoot and what pictures I want to have. I also always keep my eyes open when I am travelling. I don’t want to miss anything that could inspire me on the way. It could be trees, a beach, a building, just everything, so I try to always be patient when I am outside.

I do not like to look so much at magazines and blogs for inspiration any more like I used to. I feel it makes it easy to copy things that have already been done. It is nicer to keep your mind more to your ideas rather then to somebody else’s.

# What are your aims for your future photographer career?

I would love to work for iconic magazines like vogue, numero, w magazine... A dream many photographers have, of course, but I think working with these big names would give me satisfaction. If you work on something as much as I do, you want to see that you accomplished something in the end. I am a very ambitious person, so I always aim for the top.

I also want to get a more distinctive style in my pictures. I want people to see my pictures and know that this is a picture of me without seeing my name under it. I think that would be the highest achievement, because it shows that you and your style are unique and that you stay in people’s minds.

FOUR FOR4

With a special project BMW showcases its new BMW 4 SERIES COUPE. Four international pho-tographers present the latest BMW Coupe from their own personal perspective. The photog-raphers Thomas De Monaco, Mark Borthwick, Mierswa & Kluska and Myrzik und Jarisch have framed the BMW 4 Series Coupe in their own distinctive styles. The results alter the way you view the new Coupe and present the car not as a technical product, but in the form of an emotional experience.

SUPERIOR MAGAZINE presents the photo series by MYRZIK UND JARISCH together with inter-views with the photographers and KARIM HABIB, Head of BMW Design.

# Myrzik und Jarisch is one of the four partici-pants in the BMW 4 Series Coupe photo-project. Tell us a little bit about Myrzik und Jarisch.

We met 1990 at the Bayerische Staatsleh-ranstalt” for photography in Munich. It turned out that our photographic styles match perfectly and not only our styles by the way... until now we complete each other on versatile topics always trying to bring this collaboration to perfection.

# Looking at your portfolio one sees that you travel a lot. What is your motivation to work at so many different places?

We are always inspired by any new places, experiences or people we meet. New impres-sions are somehow the engine of our creativity.

# Although in most of your photography fea-turing technical themes people seem to play a central role. Why?

Technology is fascinating but just a sup-porting actor - it would not exist without peo-ple -people create everything. We are a little bit scared of dehumanization in visualizations so we try to focus away from the machine to the human.

# What was your motivation to participate in the BMW 4 Series Coupe photo-project?

Main motivation was to mix the genres of classic car photography with documentary and portrait photography.

# What do you like to express with your photo-series?

It was an experiment to bring the car out of the compositions center. The documentary of an authentic group portrait enhances the amazing design of the BMW 4 Series Coupe and produces a magic focus through the red color and a clas-sical positioning.

# On which projects are you currently working and is there any future project your would "die for"?

This year we are working a lot in the field of automotive, also for design companies and edi-torial mainly for Sueddeutsche Magazin. There is absolutely no project we would "die for", but we stay curious and open for any challenge regard-ing new projects.

# What is your biggest source of inspiration concerning the design of cars?

As a designer you find your inspiration in all kinds of things. Everything I see, read or hear can be reflected in my creations. The most banal everyday objects can trigger something in me and act as inspiration. At the outset of a design process, my team and I gather these diverse impressions and then attempt to put them into concrete form. Artworks, product design, fashion design, graphic design and music are a permanent source of inspiration. Architecture is important for all, for me, for lots of members in my team. I’m influenced by the designs of Koolhaas, Herzog & de Meuron and Zaha Hadid. Her signature is minimalist yet at the same time visibly sophisticated. I regularly read architec-tural magazines and keep my collection in my Munich office.

# What was your focus of attention concern-ing the details of the new BMW 4 Series Coupe?

Our goal was to create a more sporting and elegant car, pure BMW spirit and emotion. That’s why we decided to create it lower, wider, longer and with a stronger character in the front, differentiating it from the 3 Series. A vehicle’s design should exert an attraction and it should also be a promise that’s kept by the driving experience. To ensure that technical perfec-tion is manifest in every facet, we devoted even greater precision to both the exterior and the interior details of the 4 Series Coupe. We lavished particular attention on the lighting design: the headlamps, for example, strongly contribute toward creating BMW’s characteris-tically concentrated appearance.

# What was the biggest challenge for you designing the new BMW 4 Series Coupe?

The greatest challenge was to design a totally new series, for which we already had a good starting situation. We worked out the details with even greater precision, we sharpened the lines, and we further elongated the proportions to give them even more distinction.

Domenic Herder won this month's Editorial Voting. We talked with him about his career. Interview by Tom Felber

# Domenic, you studied architecture. How did it come that you work as a photographer?

When I was 18 I got my first SLR camera. I was completely over motorized because I only used the automatic modus. My best friends showed me what’s possible with this camera and my interest in making pictures increased day by day. After my university-entrance diploma I did not know what to study, some people asked me, why I am not starting a photography studies, but I feared that I could lose interest in photography and so I decided to study architecture.

It was a great experience to study architec-ture and it is as well a very nice profession, but I realized that I used all my spare time to take pictures and to improve my photographic skills. I did not see me as an architect and so I decided to do what I love.

# Who are your idols in photography?

I really like the work of Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott as well as Lado Alexi, they are doing really high quality fashion photography. I love the stories they tell and their way of using light, which sometimes is simple and sometimes more like in a movie.

# Where do get you inspirations from?

I think there are many different influences where I get my ideas from. The location where I live is

quite important for me to get new ideas as well as the people who are with me.

Additionally I find inspiration in magazines and from the work of other photographers.

# What is "Beauty" for you?

You can find beauty in so many different things. In combination with photography for me beauty has to do something with aesthetic, a model that shows character and a team which is doing his work with passion. I find beauty in nature but as well in a product with a pure design.

# Tell us a little bit about thestory behind the "Masswerk" editorial?

“MassWerk" is the graduation collection by

the German fashion designer Elisa Pirrung. The collection is driven by the idea of uniting con-trasts to create diversity - thickness and trans-parency, symmetry and asymmetry, opulence and plainness, sweeping and straight. Elisa’s fashion is elaborated to the last detail, she only uses the finest materials for her clothes.

# What are your next plans? Is there any future project you would "die for"?

There are many projects I would like to do; one of my favorites is a shooting with rooms under water... Or I would like to shoot at differ-ent places of the world like the North Pole, in a desert, New York, Asia... Let’s see what is pos-sible in future.

INTERVIEW WITH

Sandrine Pagnoux

-111-

November 2013

At the time, I was not thinking, especially, to become an illustrator, I just loved to do that and I spent all my time doing it. So, I took some graphic art classes to study basic tech-nics. Then, I have worked intensively during a year on my own in self-taught and I’ve submitted my portfolio to magazines, label records and advertising agencies, and I found my first client. I never stopped working since.

My work has evolved over the years. Little by lit-tle I began to mix some hand drawings to my visuals, until

create just drawings. That’s why I don’t know in which way my work is going to evolve. I just know that I’m going to follow my feelings, because if I stay too long without creating, I slowly die inside. Creating transports me out of the real world and out of the banality of eve-ryday existence, and makes me feel alive. And I need it to be alive

# How did you start working as an artist?

Following my feelings and without thinking too much! I do believe in destiny…

Fact is I have always loved images. Since kid I spent my time to cut magazines, to do collages, drawings and to mix all that…to make my hand crafted booklets for my CDs…but I had never thought that one day it would be my work.

After a few years of iconography’ studies, I went to Paris and met a photographer with whom I learned and began to work. But I’ve been disappointed! I love to see and take pictures for pleasure but professional photography was not a medium that suited me. The photograph is too dependent on too many people (stylist, hair-dresser, makeup artist...) and I couldn’t express the visions in my head. It was frustrating and it doesn’t fit my personality. So I began to manipu-late pictures via Photoshop and I loved that. I needed the aid of computer technology to create the digital collages I have in mind. This tool gives me an incredible freedom, the opportunity to be creative without any limits, any rules, far from all reality. Mix words, transform them. I can express myself much better through my illustrations and drawings than in any other way. Illustration allows me to create new meaning and translate photographs into my own personal expression.

-112-

# What do you want to express with your works?

I want to express myself, express an emotion, an energy. I’m trying to touch souls!

# Where do you get your inspirations from and what influences your works espe-cially?

Inspiration comes from everywhere : pop culture, life-style, fashion, all sorts of arts.

I like to spend my free time watching magazines, art books , learning more about painters, illustrators and art-

ists I’ve heard about, listening music (the titles of a lot of my pieces come from lyrics songs. Music is very important in my life). But I admire people in all kinds of fields (dance, fashion, photography...) and each of them give me a different energy and shape my perception of art. About painters, I am a big fan of Toulouse Lautrec, Bernard Buffet, Soutine, Kirchner, Modigliani, Frida Khalo, Van Dongen, Basquiat and so many others. I love especially Expres-sionism, Art Nouveau... And my favorite painter is Egon Schiele.

# How would you describe your style of illustration?

Multi layered! textured... Instinctive. Free. Sometimes slightly obsessive… Always changing...as my mood

All my work is focusing on the synthesis of digital and traditional media, hand-craft and computer technology. In a time when computers dictate our lives, it’s important for me to use real elements hand-crafted. I want to produce something human, that people feel there’s someone behind the machine! I do hate everything that is smooth, soulless.

My work is a myriad of multi media, a mixture of raw scribbles, drawings, collages, fusing writing, photography. But my style is not frozen because the world is changing around me all the time, my inspirations change, every-thing is moving, and my work is the reflection of who I am, of what I’m feeling. I am constant-ly searching to explore various artistic ways and technics. Each commercial project pushes me in new directions and allows me to work on many various pieces and that’s what I like.

November 2013

# What are your future goals? And which pro-jects are you working on at present?

More creations! Continue to create follow-ing my feelings, with passion, without any rules! Capturing beauty!Evolve in different ways, and collaborate with talented people.

I would like my visuals still on various media, on T-Shirts, magazines, books, Cd’s covers but also on objects of everyday life. I would have loved to have the gift of ubiquity and I like the idea that my artworks are moving in different places in the world as on the ski slopes (one of my drawings is used this season on a snowboard’ jacket called the Katla Jacket for Nikita’s Brand). I would love to illustrate snowboards, surfboards, skateboards, bikes, bags, scarves etc.

Lately, I signed a contract with the brand Caseable for which I illustrate smartphone cas-es, laptop sleeves, kindle cases and I’m so happy with this collaboration. If funny to integrate my creations in everyday people!

So, I do not foresee anything but I hope eve-rything! What I like most in my job is not to know what will be tomorrow. My professional future is a big white page and I love that feeling because everything seems possible. Regarding my Present, I’m working on illustrations based on James Goldstein. « J’adore! »
