Beyond control

This book is a journey of Stephan Ziehens photographs over the last 15 years.

It s about music as an inspiration and soundtrack of his work.

It s about collaborating with exciting and challenging stylists, hair & makeup artists, models, and art directors.

But very often the result was Beyond Control . Which were the most exciting days for me, when the results were out of my hands.

I tried to deliver what was commercially right, but didn t always succeed.

Often my own vision was too strong, so the picture came out that they were right for me but not always in a commercial sense.

I couldn t help it. Still, I hope you enjoy this journey into my world. Scan in, listen to the music and flick through the pages. "
