Jens S. Achtert - photographer and producer

My career started with the classical black and white photo lab course. I collected my first professional experiences with my work for magazines and newspaper after a training period in the advertising photo studio Ulrich, Riedlingen. Already in 1988 I was chosen the "BESTER NACHWUCHSFOTOGRA" in a competition of the company AGFA. By a free photo work on the subject "BESTER NACHWUCHSFOTOGRA" my work became known of a wide public by many exhibitions and articles . Numerous commissioned works followed - above all for artists and galleries. So, for example, an order about the art gallery Kleiss for a PORSCHEKALENDER which a big press echo followed, or the photo order about some art books for PROFESSOR MARTIN DOMKE (BAUHAUS). From 1990 I worked as photographer (time soldier) for the GERMAN ARMED FORCES. Later I visited the JOHANNES GUTENBERG SCHOOL for a year in Bad Cannstatt and finished my education at AWERBEATELIER BUSCHE/BENZ in Waiblingen with the famous photographer E. Kärcher. In 1995 I work as one of the first photographers successfully with DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY. Numerous magazines reported about my work for famous enterprises from the whole of Germany. One of the first large-size digitally photographed annual calendars caused sensation in the branch and drew the attention of several agencies to my work. Thus I changed in 1996 as a STUDIO LEADER to the advertising agency I.D. Team. During the next years I produced in parallel digitally and analogously advertising and product photography for known catalogue senders. In 1998 I changed to Bielefeld - also as a studio leader - to realise big orders in the area of furniture photography there mainly digitally and analogously. A year later I turned again more to the artistic aspect of my work and changed as a photographer to the UNIVERSITY of Saarland, I devoted myself in parallel to the STUDY OF THE ART HISTORY. In this time a big number of art books, work lists, exhibition catalogues of famous artists as well as several posters were produced with my works. In 2004 I received the MASTER PRICE OF THE BAVARIAN STATE GOVERNMENT of my final work.
Since 2010 I work independently in Stuttgart as a commercial photographer and videoproducer for numerous enterprises.

If I am asked what distinguishes me from others in the branch, it is to be introduced absolutely the special passion always more success for an enterprise than costs. The ability every photo  and film production is to be understood on the whole. Since already by the planning of a project I leave enough place for title and texts, think about which key words for Google make sense, or which printing method particularly is suited.

"More than 20 years of experience and still the enthusiasm of the first day."
