SPANGEMACHER AND KLUEGER JOIN FORCES TO CREATE FASHION/PHOTO EDITORIALS
Bert Spangemacher and 1919 creative director Peter Klueger, joined forces to create and execute a hyper-realistic photo layout for the August issue urban lifestyle magazine YRB, found on newsstands starting this week.
This dynamic creative team collaborated on every aspect of the spread from inspiration to concept boards to production and realization. The result was a mix of art direction and photography that has realism, guts and energy.
Four eyes can see more than two, and two brains can create and shoot at nano speed. On location we truly delivered on the concept because we shared the same vision from different angles. It truly streamlined the process," said Klueger.
Riot Acts is a fashion story with models in satin gowns appearing to be part of a political street riot as the wrestle and are beaten by the crowd control police a tribute to 1960s-style demonstrations.
Stylistically we wanted a journalistic edginess that feels out of the moment, spontaneous. There were fire hydrants gushing, oil barrels on fire and hard core police cracking down on the demonstrators. A journalistic approach to a fashion story is truly a surreal event. Almost a satire." continued Klueger.
Our concept was motivated by the current political climate and fantasizing about the cultural freedoms of a western society -in which anything goes- until the fashion police steps in, said Spangemacher.
This project adds another dimension to the offerings of 1919 Creative Studio --- concept, casting, photography, retouching and layout produced efficiently and economically. The 1919 approach is based on the Bauhaus philosophy of using the most up to date tools and media to bring style and art to communication. The Spangemacher/Klueger creative partnership brings a new and exciting approach to lifestyle photography for clients in fashion, beauty and consumer media. Berts experienced journalistic eye for spontaneous and powerful people photography and Peters creative direction with his own photography experience offering a new, fresh synergistic look.

G20 Riot Control SWAT Teamby manvan8978,381 views
I wanted to see the police at Black Friday shops with riot shields and stunsticks. That'd teach those stupid, insolent punks to act like civilized humans and not some crazy, mindless horde of rushing zombies. They TORE DOWN A CORRUGATED STEEL SHIPPING DOOR AND KILLED PEOPLE!! I would love to go apeshit with an electric cattle prod on everyone who runs past. I dont suffer fools well, but I very much enjoy watching fools suffer.
Go riot police, go police brutality, show those punks whos boss.
