Director & photographer Reno MEZGER, now represented by AVENGER PHOTOGRAPHERS, solves visual problems with design, photography and lots of film - a portrait plus a showreel on GoSee

Reno Mezger is new at AVENGER PHOTOGRAPHERS. He is a photographer and director out of passion. What fascinates him is the visual thrill. He likes variety and jumping back and forth between disciplines. Reno lives in Hamburg and works in the areas of fashion, beauty and lifestyle.

“I am a photographer, director and DOP. I hold lectures on fashion aesthetics and fashion photography at a university. At times, I’m also: a film editor, motion designer, sound designer, and color grader. I make films. I love typography, graphic design and the written word. That sounds like quite a lot. For me, it’s all one world: design. I solve visual problems; it’s my favorite pastime. With images, films, words, colors, shapes, sounds, and writing. I like variety and jumping back and forth between disciplines. I have always been fascinated by the visual thrill. Artistic, surprising, striking things, perfectly crafted... that we look at long and often.”

My career? I started out with graphic design in advertising agencies. Then came art direction. Later on photography. Today film. I am slowly getting to the point where I feel like I have grown enough and am ready to connect everything. At the beginning of my career as a photographer, I sat in front of an editor of a fashion magazine in Munich. She noticed the variety of different work in my portfolio. She looked at me puzzled, and I said : “I am still in development, and I like to experiment.” After that, the conversation was over. I haven’t heard from the editorial office since. I learned three things that day. First: Do exactly what you want to do. That’s the only way it will turn out good. Second: Development is a process the duration of which is unknown. If you’re lucky enough, it will last a lifetime. And third: You don’t have to say everything you think. Particularly when you’re in a job interview. The complete interview is available via AVENGER.
