Models in Essen
Essen shows how a former mining city can become a hub for cultural and corporate production. The Zollverein Coal Mine, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2001, ranks among Germany's most photogenic industrial monuments and draws editorial and fashion productions from across Europe. At the same time, RWE and E.ON, two of Germany's largest energy corporations, are headquartered in the city and continuously produce corporate content. THE GOOD STAFF supplies models equally comfortable against rugged industrial backdrops and in a sober conference room.

Which productions book models in Essen?
Since gaining UNESCO World Heritage status, the Zollverein Coal Mine has become one of Germany's most frequently booked industrial backdrops, hosting editorial spreads, fashion campaigns and music videos that draw on the raw architecture of the former colliery. At the same time, RWE and E.ON, both headquartered in Essen, regularly produce corporate photography and campaigns for employee communication, annual reports and employer branding. The picture is rounded out by Folkwang University of the Arts, which gives the city a lively design and fashion scene. For each of these productions we select matching talent: expressive and versatile for editorial against an industrial backdrop, polished and composed for corporate assignments.
