He long ago abandoned the comfort and security of the studio for the opportunity and ultimate rewards of working on location with an equipment-filled van. His very dynamic photography has given him a clientele of many of the best known companies in the U.S. such as ATT, General Electric, IBM, National Geographic and many more.
Christopher Springmann also teaches photography at the prestigious Santa Fe Photographic Workshops, where he shows in step-by-step fashion, how studio-quality lighting is created on location by combining electronic flash and quartz lighting with the existing daylight to produce a "new reality".

Walter Schels "Portraits - People and Animals"
18 Sept. 11 a.m., 19 Sept. 4 p.m., 20 Sept. 2 p.m.
Walter Schels worked abroad as a decorator until 1965. In New York the dedication to photography became his profession and years of fashion, advertising and reportage photography followed, like for instance the covering of more than 50 births. The face of the new born baby, which many times is suggestive of an old man's face, created an interest in faces and portrait photography. A great number of portraits of artists, musicians, politicians, philosophers, scientists and others, even of blind people, followed.
The same interest was also turned to animals. It even served as models to the human portraits, because animals have no complex in regard to appearance or originality. Babies and very often also old people share this with the animals.
Since 1990 Walter Schels lives and works in Hamburg. In addition to exhibitions in Germany and abroad, also the publishing of works like "The open secret" in 1995 with physiognomic reflections on the new born baby and the old man's face.
