Florian Lein, Berlin

My name is Florian Lein, I am a photographer from Berlin ( Germany ) but now living most of the time in Stuttgart. In 1996, at the age of 18 I founded a press photo agency in Berlin with the main focus on sports photography. I worked all across Europe and supplied international newspapers and magazines with pictures. After 3 years I sold the agency and changed to music, people, advertising and real estate photography. My clients were music magazines, model agencies, record labels, private companies and advertising agencies. At the same time, after selling the agency, I completed an apprenticeship as a digital media designer at A.B.A Consulting & Marketing GmbH, an advertising agency located in Berlin. Now, after another 3 years, I have two professions: photographer and digital media designer. Until 2004 I worked freelance around Europe at which point I decided to go to Canada for 7 months. While there I took photos for real estate developers and Modelagencies across Canada and the USA before returning to Europe to work on a documentary movie as camera man and assistant Producer. After the world premier of the documentary movie at the Berlin Film Festival Berlinale I decided to go back to Canada for another half a year to continue working across Canada and the USA. Now in 2007 I am working as a Poducer for a Filmproduction company with the main focus on commercials, Image movies, IPTV and Corporate TV, which doesn't mean that I stopped working as photographer. Well, thats about it from me for now! Enjoy my pictures
