Photographer Remo Neuhaus and "his football stars
From January 9 to 13, the photo exhibition Photo15 will be on display in the Maag Event Hall. Among the exhibitors: advertising photographer Remo Neuhaus with his footballer portraits.
In spring 2014, a football match against poverty took place at the Stade de Suisse in Bern. This annual charity highlight was held in Switzerland for the first time. Countless former world-class soccer stars such as Zinédine Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo, Maldini, Elber, Cannavaro, Gullit and many more took part. The world selection plays for a good cause against BSC Young Boys.
Neuhaus' photographic idea: portraits of the world's soccer players. The entire proceeds of around 4,000 Swiss francs were donated by auction to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. The difficulty: the stars stood in front of the camera for just 30 - 60 seconds. According to Neuhaus, all the footballers took part and helped to raise some money in addition to the game.

At Photo15, the photographer will show five large-format fine art prints of the footballers. Taken with the medium format camera Pentax 645Z, which brings out the details in particular. Remo Neuhaus specializes in commercial, advertising and portraits and works throughout Switzerland.
Responsible for the project: Remo Neuhaus (initiator and photographer); Marco Herzig (assistant); Jonas Weibel & Raphael Wanner (making of video); Promacx, Bern (image editing).
