Who them people?
With over 20 years professional experience, David Myers (photographer), Klaus Gruber (photographer), Christine Engert (graphic designer), and Kathrin Lawincky (designer/stylist) formed Picture-Of-Me in 2008 concentrating on producing wow-factor wedding, family, portrait and event photography.
We thought to ourselves “Hey, we can bring our gazillion years of experience together, make some great stylish and cool images – and have some fun”. This is the ethos behind POM.
About me – David Myers – UK
I live in wonderful Brighton in southern England, and it’s a city full of coffee bars, olde pubs, outrageous funky people and The Sea. My first memory of picking up a camera was when I was 11 and my family visited the Azores. I still have the photo of me slouching in a cool way that I have never been able to replicate since, with a Kodak something-or-other camera slung around my neck. I have been photographing people for over 20 years, from families to celebrities and artists to African farmers; for books, magazines, weddings, newspapers, walls, charities, libraries, catalogues…..
Apart from always thinking about photography my interests are travel, cycling and playing a loud Gibson guitar (badly).
About Klaus Gruber – Germany
Klaus is based in Furth, Bavaria. It’s a nice part of the world full of gorgeous forests, castles, enormous beer gardens (think Munich Octoberfest) and cheerful people (YES Germans can be enormous fun!). Klaus is like me and is never happier than when he is photographing people, which he does for various family magazines, agencies, private commissions and weddings. We have known each other for 16 years and although he has more muscles and hair than I do, I still like to think of myself as the ‘handsome’ one (let’s hope he never reads this or I’m in trouble).
His interests are taking photographs, taking photographs and taking photographs – and a bit of hiking in the mountains. He has an enormous and eclectic music collection. Klaus makes the finest cappuccino known to humanity.
About the Designer – Christine Engert – UK
Is she good and can she produce imaginative, cool and timeless designs? Well she’s been doing it for 15 years for companies like Saatchi & Saatchi, Rolls Royce, EON, BT and has designed more brochures, packagings and magazine layouts than she can remember. Christine collects ancient shoes and hats from around the world, her favourite film is Toy Story 2 and her top crisp flavour is Salt & Vinegar.
About the Designer/Stylist – Kathrin Lawincky – Germany
Working for many years in design for magazines, picture libraries and graphic agencies, Kathrin has a superb eye for details and modern, chic style (the evidence M’Lord is in her fabulous German home and superbly designed Photobooks). She has specialised lately in ecology based magazines involving children and teenagers. Kathi loves hiking, gardening and is a black belt in Yoga.
