For the L'OREAL MEN EXPERT advertorial in GQ with hip photographer, blogger and enthusiastic nudist Simon Lohmeyer in the lead role, photographer MAX VON TREU recreated a set à la blow-up. The two mainly clothed portraits were completely to the taste of the client.
The team led by Max and Simon was so enthusiastic about the shoot that there were no holds barred afterwards. And completely to Simon's taste, one garment after another almost vanished into thin air. So we show you two more personal and very beautiful motifs from the expert shoot. For all further motifs, please contact Max directly. More details on the self-proclaimed "21 Century Hippie" and his adventures can be found under: supertramp.gq.de

About MAX VON TREU
It was at the tender age of six when he was given his first snapshot-camera that Max von Treu, born in Munich in 1979, started showing interest in photography. Things got a little more serious when he got his first proper camera at the age of 17. It was love at first sight and a never ending array of snap shots, taken during early travels around the world. After graduating in Munich, Max decided to move to London to study mixed media arts at the University of Westminster. His main focus was filmmaking at first and it was only after he finished his studies and while assisting various fashion photographers that he discovered his passion for fashion and portrait photography. His professional career as a fashion photographer began when he was 25. Max is currently based in Berlin and Munich shooting for clients around the world.
