Meet Kai-Uwe Gundlach

About the artist

You might have come across German photographer Kai-Uwe Gundlach´s work before without realising it. He's the lens behind countless adverts for Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and HP among many others. Gundlach is based in Hamburg. 

As commercial photographer, Gundlach has a large production and CGI team working with him. At the end of such a shoot, however, he prefers to work alone.

Gundlach likes walking through cities, always off the beaten track. He captures his hotel room, sometimes he shoots out of the window of a moving car. There is not a particular thing he is looking for. On every job, on every trip, he pursues his personal projects. Gundlach is in constant search of idiosyncarcy, always on the lookout for special moments, that will never come again.
