Photographing behind the scenes and promotional imagery for LÖWELÖWE's release Stop Lift Stop! was one of those joyous, creative days that remind me why I love what I do. Surrounded by like-minded, talented, and genuinely lovely people, we crafted visuals that captured the band's vibrant energy and artistic spirit.

Looking back, this day carries an added layer of bittersweet meaning. Christian Hummer, one of the band's leading members, passed away the following year. He was someone I would have loved to sit down with for a drink and a long chat—a plan that, like so many in life, was left for "later." That moment never came, but I will always be grateful for the time spent in his presence and the opportunity to contribute to something so meaningful alongside him and the rest of the brilliant LÖWELÖWE crew.

These photos now hold a special place in my heart, preserving not just a project, but a cherished memory.
