Professionalism is often referred to as having an impressive competence in a particular activity. true profes-sionalism means delivering work which is not only exactly right and on the spot; it encompasses giving
more than has been expected. The finest professional photographers are committed to this excellence, which is why they prefer to use equipment that allows them to achieve their goals: It also explains why, for certain tasks, so many true pros end up using larger format cameras. Over the past 50 years, Hasselblad has been continually committed to provide precisely the gear that has enabled photographers to go the extra mile, to add that addition-al extra that made their work exceed expectations and deliver the outstanding.
In this respect, Hasselblad cameras always have been at the top of the class. Camera systems like the famous V and the H3DII are proof that Hasselblad has always taken photography a determined step forward in decisive peri-ods of photography’s evolution. The recently introduced H4D-50 and H4D-60 have, once again, raised the bar and marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of medium format DSLRs. Employing the most advanced sensors and from-the-ground-up, newly designed elec-tronics, they set new standards for camera handling, image detail, and resolution. At the same time, they have introduced a new feature set that accurately allows photographers to get the maximum edge from the advan-tages inherent in the larger format. This explains why top- of-the-line H4Ds featuring technologies like TrueFocus with APL are unique and unrivalled by the competition.
The time has come to take the next step. You have undoubtedly noticed that the countdown is ticking on our website to mark the introduction of a new system: The H4D-40. On Feb 10th, the bells and whistles of the H4D-50 and -60 will be brought to a new sensor class and open up this ground breaking technology to those who are prepared to take a step to true professionalism that will brilliantly distinguish their work from all the others. All high end 35mm users be aware! Now you get the perfect complimentary tool for professional ambitions. Be part of the Hasselblad family, join the new Hasselblad owners club. Also on Feb 10th this new area on the Hasselblad website will be opened to all professional Hasselblad photographers who want to present their portfolio to the Hasselblad community and everybody who is interested in high end photography.
Those who will be among the first happy H4D users have just been selected: the Hasselblad Masters 2009. Ten international top-photographers have come in first after fierce worldwide competition involving nearly 3,000 applicants. Now they will be photographing a spread with the theme “Emotion” for the second, commemorative Hasselblad Masters book. Their contri-butions will be photographed with an H4D provided by Hasselblad. As to who the ten photographers chosen as Hasselblad Masters 2009 are – get a first impression of the incredible Masters in this magazine.

About 3,000 photographers wanted the honor, but these ten have made it – against very strong competition, they have triumphed as Hasselblad Masters 2009: Nina Berman, Joao Carlos, Mark Holthusen, Claudio Napolitano, Lyle Owerko, Bang Peng, Dirk Rees, Quentin Shih, Mark Zibert, and Stephan Zirwes. Each of these ten was declared a winner in their respective Master category by the outstanding jury of experts and the public vote. The premise for the competition was that they set themselves apart from the others with their photographic proficiency, their creativity, their feel for composition, their conceptual
strength, and their technical ability. The Hasselblad Masters 2009 receive access to Hasselblad’s flagship camera system, the H4D, a movie camera and a script. The ten will photograph a spread for the second commemorative Masters book, each interpreting the motto “emotion”.
“The combination of Hasselblad H4D excellence along with the photographers’ creative visions and technical skills will certainly result in a stunning collection of images for Masters Vol. 2 – Emotion,” explains Christian Nørgaard, Hasselblad’s Photographer Relations Manager. This premium, largeformat book
will be released in September 2010 in conjunction with the biannual photographic tradeshow photokina in Cologne, Germany. The “emotion” pictures will be presented in a large exhibit at the photokina. Subsequently, further exhibits are planned. “I’m happy to announce the sponsorship of the Masters Awards by SanDisk, HP, Hahnemuehle, and Broncolor. We are grateful for their support in helping us continue this important program,” remarks Nørgaard.
On the following pages, we show you – in each case – one of the five pictures with which the ten photographers prevailed in their category.

WILKsensitively conceptual Dannielle Siewertsen, Networkagency, Sydney: “Wilk’s talent to turn a simple assignment into a breathtaking and touching portrait is surely due to his carefree manner and ability to put himself in the mind of his model. What’s more, he always makes his own lively and imaginative contributions. His creative spirit never sleeps and is always striving to deliver amazing concepts for his clients – whether for a slick advertising campaign, courageous editorial portrait or shots of the hottest newcomer on the Sydney music scene. His future as a leading portrait and landscape photographer is assured. ” WILK: Born Glen Wilkie in Surat/Australia in 1982; 2001–2003 studied photography; freelance photographer since 2004.

FRANK HERFORTironically surrealChristine Defrance, Defrance, Düsseldorf: “At a first glance, Frank Herfort’s pictures are very straightforward and linear, yet, at the same time, they seem to be quite surreal. After looking at them for a while, a certain irony can be detected in his imagery. You can’t avoid noticing the intelligent, at times questioning, levels of his work. Frank manages to visualise the individual sensitivity of the people he photographs, and the melancholy of certain rooms and locations. It could be that he tends to leave the viewer with more questions than answers.”
Frank Herfort: Born in Leipzig/Germany in 1979; 2000–2005 Hamburg School of Visual Arts; 2002–2005 freelance photo assistant; freelance photographer since 2005, located in Hamburg and Moscow since 2006.

7 UpWhich photographers are currently on the move to the very top? VICTOR got seven international photo representatives to choose – we present their newcomers and tell why these are the ones to watch.
CHRISTIAN BLANCHARDun-contrived fashionableVeronica Moore, Miss Bossy Boots, Sydney: “Christian’s brooding and uncontrived pic tures give the impression that you’re looking through a key hole. Capturing the inner dialog that is manifested on his subjects’ faces, his photos rise above the commonplace. The voyeuristic aspect of Christian’s creativity is both disturbing and exciting. He’s passionate about fashion and portrait series that tell a story, and obsessed with creating new projects. This kind of enthusiasm will guarantee him a future in commercial photography.”
Christian Blanchard: Born in Perth/Australia in 1981; 1999–2001 studied photography; 1999–2002 freelance photo assistant; freelance photographer since 2001.

MAURICE HEESENpoetically narrativeFrançois Pallud, Imaginativ Productions, Paris: “I would describe Maurice as a photographer of optimistic realism. From his photographic style, you can see that he used to work as an art director and that he studied graphic design – his pictures tend to be very graphic. Maurice’s images also tell stories; with every photo shoot, he’s looking for the best feeling and lighting he can find. His approach is both descriptive and poetic. Even though certain scenes arise out of everyday life, they’re not sad or bleak. He manages to take photographs that stick in your mind, despite the flood of imagery that we’re constantly exposed to.”
Maurice Heesen: 1969 Born in Hoorn/Netherlands in 1969; 1988–1992 studied graphic design; 1992–1995 art director at advertising agencies; freelance photographer since 2001; Advertisements include: Nike, Vodafone, Canon, Orange, Fortis, McDonald’s and Emaar.

CHRIS HEADSdelightfully surprisingCoco Bonfanti, Studio Repossi Productions, Milan: “Chris Heads’ pictures tell fantastical stories predominantly characterised by irony and dynamism. His use of strong colors and unusual attitudes shows that he wants to surprise the viewer. Because of this powerful capacity for communication, I’m sure he’ll establish himself successfully in the field of commercial photography. Chris Heads needs nothing more than a positive atmosphere to produce delightful pictures; but one needs a sunny disposition and refined sensitivity to appreciate their power.”
Chris Heads: Born in London/Great Britain in 1963; 1982–1984 studied art; 1984–1996 worked as an illustrator; freelance photographer since 1996. Published in: Harper’s Bazaar, Tank, Wallpaper, Vanity Fair, Elle/Italy/Great Britan, among others.

ALEXANDRA CATIEREunusually gentleCharlotte Ellis, Creative Exchange Agency, New York: “Alexandra Catiere has a unique photographic style. Through her pictures, the viewer steps into a gentle yet unreal world. It feels rather like a memory from a time long past – yet at the same time it is imbued with a measure of fresh inspiration. Alexandra is a master of the craft of photography. That, combined with the fact that she is inspired by both the present and the past, makes her one of my top newcomers. I’m sure that she’ll move forward and be successful in the fields of haute couture and fine arts photography.”
Alexandra Catiere: Born in Minsk/White Russia in 1978; 2003–2004 studied photography; 2005 photo assistant to Irving Penn; freelance photographer since 2006. Published in: New Yorker, Le Monde, Deutsch Magazine, among others. Advertisements include A la disposition, Maison Pour Tous, Estella

CARLOS LUMIEREhiply illuminatedAgustin Gonzalez, Aproductions, Madrid: “In Carlos Lumiere’s fashion photography, classic images are given a new lease on life. Carlos is a real master of lighting. Using a flash reflected against a mirror and metallic lamp covers, he adds a futuristic touch to his images. Carlos fulfils the requirements of any given assignment, but adds exciting and interesting aspects to the photo shoot with his unique style of lighting. I’m sure Carlos will be successful in commercial photography for luxury items, because his pictures have an inviting, generous and rich feel about them, and there is energy in his style.”
Carlos Lumiere: Born in Cuenca/Spain in 1970; 1985–1988 studied architecture; 1989–1992 photographer for the Spanish news agency Radial Press; 1990–1998 photo assistant; freelance photographer since 2000.

PHotos: Hans scHlupp
The lan club in Beijing is out of this world – a phenomenal 6,000 square meter pleasure palace that was created by French designer philippe starck. Beijing based photographer Hans schlupp used his Hasselblad H3D-39 to complement this opulent subject with a visual representation. What we see is an overwhelming amount of detail presented with utmost clarity.

The best way to get in touch with Hans Schlupp is via the Internet. The photographer has been living in Beijing for the past five years but his contacts span the globe. He feels at home wherever he happens to be working, and has done for decades. How much German is still left in him? Schlupp himself doesn’t know, for a long time now he’s been visiting his home country as a guest. His lifestyle revolves around its own dynamic – he is quickly bored and has no problem being mobile. It stands to reason that a nomad like Schlupp, after working in London, Paris, Italy and Austra-lia, would find himself in China, a country where ancient history is being replaced by concrete towers and blocks, where tradition yields to a new vision. China appears to be a giant, endless construction site – what was formerly a pastoral land, is now a place of ambition, material-ism and wealth. Schlupp challenges critics of development with an “anti-Western attitude”, picked up during his time in China: “What’s hap-pening here is apparently the same thing that happened after the Euro-pean wars and the West should stop being so culturally imperialistic,” he argues. The only difference is that, in China, everything happens a little faster, grows a little bigger.
How does this form of turbo- capitalism – the relentless endeavor toward superlatives – harmonize with the communist ideology de-creed by the Chinese government? Even in communism some will be more equal than others, as being rich and being equal are mutually ex-clusive. Certain mechanisms ensure that a vast majority of the Chinese population sees very little of China’s wealth. Only two years ago, the 100 wealthiest Chinese were said to each possess an average of 400 million US dollars. ‘Forbes’, the American financial magazine, wrote that the prosperity of these super rich citizens had increased by 38 per cent between the years 2004 and 2005. Meanwhile, China is recognized as the third largest customer of luxury items in the world. For Chinese nobility, the color red currently transports a royal carriage instead of a social ideology. In China – in which, for about a bil-lion working class citizens, the word luxury only means social security – a prosperous upper caste will easily flush down the weekly wages of the average working man with a single drink.
These minted customers require an appropriately luxurious environ-
ment to amuse themselves. China’s capital city offers just that kind of place: the 6,000 square meter LAN Club, opened in late 2006 and named after its owner, Mrs. Lan. Built on the fourth floor of what is, by Chinese standards, a medium-sized 50-story building, located in the Chaoyang district in the heart of Beijing and designed by Phillipe Starck. The pro-motional leaflet sent out by Gordon, the manager reads: “A breathtaking combination of design and architec-ture, a blend of thought and feeling.” Starck, the assiduous designer who once stated that no one really needs design contradicts himself spectacu-larly with this latest coup. Starck claims to always reduce form and material to a minimum, yet here he has created an atmosphere so flamboyant that one might imagine Ludwig XIV himself had submitted sketches for the design. The result is a luxuriously embellished club with the most exotic artifacts sourced in China, India, Mexico and France. This seemingly random opulence invites the customer to discover new elements with every glance, but there is a system beneath the chaos: “The seeming disorder is based on a graphic layout,” Schlupp confirms.
The photographer’s fundamen-tal premise was to emphasize this
graphic structure. He had two assis-tants and a limited shooting time of ten hours. “You can spend an entire day wandering through the Club and still not really see it. There’s too much detail,” Schlupp reports. His challenge was “to introduce a visual structure into the flamboyance.” The photographer decided to shoot the LAN Club pictures using a Hasselblad H3D-39 along with the new 28mm, a 50mm and an 80mm lens. Schlupp sees himself as the maker of a photo-graphic documentary, an unconven-tional pragmatist wanting to show buildings as they were planned.
For inspiration, Schlupp can draw upon a vast amount of assignments completed throughout his career. The subjects were often unusual and Schlupp never felt that he was over-qualified for any one of them. He has travelled the length and breadth of Australia accompanying the Flying
Doctors, a mobile doctors’ union, in a helicopter. He then spent months following an Australian vicar around a parish the size of Germany. Having done product and food photogra-phy, countless annual reports and architectural subjects he eventually decided to specialize on the presen-tation of interior design. Perhaps he did this “out of comfort,” he says with a hint of irony – the weather is better indoors. Nonetheless, more often than not he faces other obsta-cles, especially in China where elec-tricity is not always dependable and photography is sometimes frowned upon, and in many places absolutely forbidden. The painstaking but cru-cial preparations necessary for pho-tography often add to the pressure under which Schlupp has to perform, “Fortunately, my routine enables me to shoot up to 20 photos a day, even in complex situations” the distin-guished expert explains. “But I have no time for imaging and retouching on the computer,” he says, hinting at the accuracy with which he has to organize his work in his head.
The ability to master extreme demands was and is his greatest advantage. Because Schlupp tends to work alone, from making the arrangements to composing the lighting, no energy is lost to interper-sonal tension – but there’s no time to take a break either. Schlupp has col-laborated with 180 architects around the world, and as happened in Abu Dhabi, the elite of European archi-tects will contribute stellar buildings to the metropolises of China and will want to see their work portrayed in a flattering light. In the past few years, this market has generated a pool of more than 10,000 interior shots in Asia alone. The building boom continues at breakneck speed, but Schlupp can easily keep up without feeling overrun. “After all,” as he himself recognizes in a moment of respite, “in my work I can’t get any fresher than a new building.” And so his journey continues. Where will Hans Schlupp end up? “Some day I’ll go home,” he says. But it won’t be Germany. carla susanne erdmann

ing drums can really help you get rid of any aggression.
the excitement. I’ve had many unusual and exciting moments in my career, in particular when I was young and carefree. I’ve been shot at during a stay in Miami, mistaken for a rock star in New York, and treated like royalty by the students at Bangkok’s ‘College of Art’. I was also threatened with a gun in the Flor-ida Everglades. Have been good for whole armadas of insects; not only there, but in other places around the world as well.
the dream. I’ve always wanted to produce beautiful books of nudes, printed on top quality archival paper and bound in leather. Over the years, they would become part of an exclu-sive collection. Each book would have a limited run of 1000 copies, and would be signed, numbered and delivered in a beautifully designed case. The title could bear the name of the model, because I would not photograph more than one model per book. The inspiration for this collection of books comes from ‘The Possessed Space’.
the nightmare. I have many. I would never photograph anything that could somehow be connected to pornography (though there are peo-ple who do not recognize the beauty in my nudes), because I don’t want anyone to feel used. I also don’t want my work to be tied to a computer.
the Hasselblad. I photographed with a Hasselblad for the first time three years ago. I simply took a few shots with it, aperture 8. The results were overwhelming. Nowadays I work with the H3D and a 50–100 zoom lens. It’s fantastic equipment, though I would love it to have fewer features and a much stiffer aperture dial (for shutter speed).
stuart weston is a Hasselblad Master because he is able to place his models in a scene without allow-ing them to appear static. Though many of his models are naked, he shows them as poised personalities. To intensify the mood and liveliness, he creates a very unique, at times artificial, coloring, that defines his unmistakeable style.
the beginning. I was never fas-cinated by photography itself. My attention was always focused on the actual pictures. I see photography as a means to achieve an end. Earlier on I painted and illustrated – technical material in particular.
the heroes. I don’t really have any idols among famous photographers, though I was a fan of Javier Vall-nonrat during the 1990’s. His book ‘The Possessed Space’ is very impor-tant for learning about the trust and interplay that arises because of the relationship between object and art-ist. Nowadays I like seeing Steven Meisel’s work in Italian Vogue.
the hobby horse. I have, and always will have, a passion for my motorbike and my drum kit. When-ever I have time, I get on my bike and disappear for a sunny week-end on the south coast, or into the Derbyshire hills. I’ve built a practise room in my London studio where I play at least four times a week. Play-
