featured by RECOM GmbH & Co. KG : BRONZE at the GoseeAwards ‘23 – we congratulate RECOM, Fashion Editor Yilmaz Aktepe and Director & Photographer Ralph Mecke on the uber-deserved TOP3 position

Multilayered, timeless, nuanced … the GoSeeAWARDS spread just goes to show once more how remarkably photographer and director Ralph Mecke masters his craft. And the congenial stylist and Fashion Editor at his side like so often : Yilmaz Aktepe. Yilmaz elevates fashion to an art form. It is never random and never banal. It transforms rooms into sceneries. And these are subsequently dissected by Ralph Mecke and masterfully captured with the camera.

On board for post production of the spread was RECOM, who absolutely see themselves, who could blame them, as a fine art partner of their clients. Thanks to years of experience in all areas – advertising, food, art, fashion, and moving images – there’s hardly a motif they aren’t skilled in post-producing so artistically that the quintessence of the image alone seems to magically attract the attention of viewers.

“We would like to congratulate Yilmaz Aktepe, Ralph Mecke and RECOM on winning BRONZE at our GoseeAwards 2023. For us – as we have said so often – all 20 finalists are winners : because, ultimately, the AWARDS are all about the high-quality viewing of our jury, which was outstanding again in 2023. It was particularly wonderful to see how many jurors personally attended UPDATE-23-BERLIN. We’re already looking forward to 2024 !” Cyrus C. Halabian, GoSee.News & UPDATE.Salon.

By the way, RECOM was also on the shortlist of finalists this year together with artist Monica Menez.
