THE INSTANT EXPERIENCE

Lisa Marie Asubonteng x Leica

A moment made real – instantly. The LEICA SOFORT 2 invites us to slow down in a world that moves fast. To see, to frame, and to hold onto what matters – the precious personal moments.

LISA MARIE ASUBONTENG doesn’t just take photographs — she preserves emotion. With an instinct for intimacy and an eye for quiet beauty, she captures moments that feel both spontaneous and eternal. Her photography is therefore a perfect match for the campaign of the LEICA instant camera.

NACHLASS AKA ESTATE

Sebastian Koenig x Richert Beil

As the style zeitgeist descended upon the Westend Office, the Berlin-based fashion virtuosos, Jale Richert and Michele Beil, cast an electrifying spell over Berlin Fashion Week. Celebrating their 10 years of groundbreaking fashion narrative, RICHERT BEIL unveiled their AW24 collection to an eager audience. SEBASTIAN KOENIG takes us on a journey to the backstage area of the show NACHLASS aka ESTATE and lets us take part in the extraordinary atmosphere that prevails there.

YOUR FACE TELLS THE STORY

Madita x Frenz

Beauty is in front of the eye of the beholder. FRENZ communicates this claim and shows people whose faces tell stories in its ads. Sabine Lewandowski photographed this campaign with Madita, which was increasingly shown in public spaces.

Me & Us

FASHION MAGAZINE

It's a totally different feeling and leads to a unique output when you produce a magazine together as a collective like SPARTS. We can support and inspire each other, as we have expertise in many different areas. Sometimes you are a photographer, sometimes an artist, stylist, muse, hairstylist or model. But first and foremost you are a team worker in a creative alliance.

BRUTAL

Falk Helmbold x Leica

The magazine BRUTAL was published by Prof. Andrea Rauschenbusch and Prof. Ursula Zillig of the HfK Bremen in cooperation with PRINTKULTUR, Joachim Baldauf and LEICA. The cover motif by Falk Helmbold was awarded best editorial by Leica and shown at the SYLT ART FAIR by the GEUER & GEUER GALLERY in the exhibition BE A MOVER. This collaboration was one of the initial impulses for the founding of SPARTS.

A surreal image features a hand submerged in a clear liquid within a glass container on a blue surface with reflective properties. Overlaid text includes hashtags and keywords like #MODE, #FOTOGRAFIE, #HFKBREMEN, #2021, and BRUTAL. The bottom left shows "18,00 EURO" and a barcode.
