The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology is an internationally renowned institute for climate research. The aim of the MPI-M is to understand how and why climate changes on planet Earth. The scientists at the MPI-M examine the vulnerability of the Earth system with regard to disturbances, such as changes in the composition of its atmosphere, and conduct research into the principles and limits of the predictability of the Earth system. To achieve this, the MPI-M develops and analyzes highly complex Earth system models. The targeted use of in-situ measurements and satellite observations complement model simulations.
For Hamburg’s Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Bernd POSSARDT c/o DOUBLE T PHOTOGRAPHERS shot the recruiting film presented here, which not only shows the employees but also underscores the importance of the research conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology.

Esther HAASE photographed the cover spread ‘Christmas Angel’ for the latest issue of ICON MAGAZINE and, in doing so, captured the magic of the holiday season and the beauty of the moment. Besides the spread, Esther also produced a video together with DOP Sebastian Etmer, which she directed.
The magazine tells us about the production : “It just seemed natural for us to choose higher beings that provide comfort in this somewhat strange winter again this year. At least to vanish for a while into a realm to which reality only has limited access. We came up with the idea of a forest and a clearing, of using fog and magical light. We imagined an angel appearing out of the thicket, carrying one of those snow globes in her hand that are all over the place particularly during Advent. The globe as a symbol of the world, constantly being shaken up by us humans and other forces so that it seems like the snow would never be able to settle again. But we remain confident, thinking about what one might see if it does manage to? There are no limits to the imagination and to hope, but for now, we...

The PEUGEOT 208 demonstrates its youthful character with a sporty silhouette and an interior equipped with the brand new PEUGEOT 3D i-Cockpit®.

‘Back in Island’ is a short film exploring the creative journey of artist Amanda Valle as she returns to her home in the Dominican Republic. Following an emotionally draining period, Amanda seeks comfort in the local culture by immersing herself in the colors and textures which were once so familiar. A journey of self-discovery, the short film became the main source of inspiration for the artist’s new series composed of twelve paintings.
Amanda Valle was born in 1984 in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic. The only daughter of a single mother, she spent most of her early years at home. Living an ordinary and settled life on the surface, Amanda filled her time by drawing the worlds and colors alive in her mind, with views from the window becoming the first muses for her self-expression.
Amanda later left the island and moved to the US. This eventually led to her participation in several events, including Art Basel Miami 2017 and Salone del Mobile Milan 2018 (Nilufar Gallery). Since 2019, she has been living and commuting between the Dominican Republic and Miami, dedicating her...
