Focussing on Photokina we did select a collection of eleven works of eleven reknown artists working with Hahnemühle. Have fun watching them:
Anton Corbijn: intimate portraits on Hahnemühle paper
Anton Corbijn, shooting solely in black and white, reduces his pictures shot with a Hasselblad camera with purist settings and natural light to the essentials. In his images, he forcefully underlines the personality and depth in the character of the portrayed person – far beyond any kind of photographic effects.
The exhibition ‘Inwards and Onwards’ from the Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn has been printed on Hahnemühle FineArt Pearl. The large-format prints feature music legends such as Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith and Tom Waits. Meanwhile, pictures of modern epitomes of artistic inspiration, such as Gilbert & George, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and Gerhard Richter are included.
Hasselblad Masters Photographer Frank Meyl
Frank Meyl is the only German-based photographer who has been selected as finalist in the Hasselblad Masters 2012, category architecture. His numerous awarded portfolio features architecture, people, lifestyle, automobile and advertisements for national and international magazines.
“For many years I print my portfolio exclusively on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® Duo, which is printable on both sides. Advertising agencies and artist gallery’s are enthusiastic due to the excellent haptics and optical quality of my motifs on this paper.” 
Platon: Barack Obama on Hahnemühle FineArt Paper
Platon is an English photographer based in New York. He shoots film, scans his negatives, and retouches the images on screen with an attention to detail. He then returns images back to a handmade print by using a handmade paper to reproduce finest nuances.
“Handcraft to handcraft” is what Platon declares about his prints on Hahnemühle paper. This way incredible portraits of Barack Obama, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, Dimitry Medvedev, Benhamin Netanyahu, Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Abbas, Tony Blair, Robert Mugabe, Silvio Berlusconi and Muammar Qaddafi turn out perfected. Celebrities from the world of art and culture are part of his impressive list of models. His portraits for exhibitions and collectors are made on Hahnemühle FineArt Pearl.
First Hahnemühle Digital FineArt paper in space
The British photographer Elaine Duigenan sent a picture printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® up into space. Then, this fine art image was shot through the window of the international space station ISS with a view of Planet Earth.
The pictures show traces of snails, which are reminiscent of topographic structures on the surface of Planet Earth – such as a delta shot from high above. This inspired the idea to shoot this picture in zero gravity through the window – with the Amazon in the background. The picture from Elaine Duigenan and her entire series MICRO MUNDI (Small Worlds) have been exhibited worldwide.
Bettina Rheims – Gender Studies
HARMAN and Hahnemühle are pleased that international acclaimed French photographer Bettina Rheims presents her current project ‘Gender Studies’ on HARMAN by Hahnemühle GLOSS ART FIBRE paper. Focusing on the topic of transgender, in 2011 the artist created a fascinating portrait series of 25 people who evade the categorization of male and female.
The project, which was initially a call out on Facebook for people who feel ‘different’, evolved for Bettina Rheims into an intense project with young transgender who fascinated her through their androgyny and transsexuality. The artistic study of people who act beyond normative and partly stereotyped classifications of gender is presented in large size photo prints. For more information on the photo project by Bettina Rheims go on ‘Documentaires’ at her website.

Nik Barte: The desert photographer
‘DUNE – unveiled beauties – bellezze svelate’ – that’s how Italian photographer Nik Barte calls his free photo project he has been working on in the African sand deserts for many years, now.
He is just “in love” with our paper and quotes: “A love message needs lovable surfaces. Hahnemühle paper is a joy for the eyes and a pleasure for the senses.”
His favourites for landscapes featuring sand, light and wind are matt-finish Hahnemuehle papers: William Turner as textured paper or Photo Rag® Ultra Smooth as extremely smooth medium. “To touch the hearts of those I’m printing my photo art for, my subjects and the Hahnemuehle paper have to match perfectly,” underlines Nik Barte. 
Cooper & Gorfer: Photo poetry from Göteborg
Photo poetry from Goteborg: American Sarah Cooper and Austrian Nina Gorfer combine their knowledge of art, architecture and photography under the pseudonym Cooper & Gorfer.
For the yearbook of the Röhsska Museum for Fashion & Design, they created gorgeous pictures of a model in a Vivienne Westwood wedding gown, printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® Ultra Smooth. Cooper & Gorfer summarize: “Hahnemühle’s true artist paper boosts the quality of our pictures in a beautiful, nearly haptic way.” To find out more about Cooper & Gorfer please visit Studio Seek. 
Japanese temple on Rice Paper by Hahnemühle
Every subject looks for its paper.” Due to this motto, the Berlin based photographer Tania Reh asked Hahnemühle if they had a lightweight paper for her black and white of the Japanese Chokoji-Temple.
“When it’s about lines, peace, tranquillity, transparency and light – as it is the case in my pictures – the Digital FineArt Rice Paper with its transparent watermark lines represents the ideal choice.
The paper perfectly renders black and white – and all the shades of grey in between: the grain of the wood panelling, the structure of the bamboo blinds or the Indian ink of the wall decoration. This paper perfectly conveys my idea and my message.” To take a closer look at her works please visit www.artania.de.
