For Lavera’s Straffende Pflege campaign, I served as Director, DoP, and Photographer, creating the brand’s TV commercial (TVC), digital campaign films, and key visual stills. Centred around healthy, naturally radiant skin.

Featuring international model Mona Johannesson, the visual language balances an understated beauty aesthetic with an intimate, organic approach to light. The focus remains strictly on authentic skin texture, Mona’s presence, and subtle details that make the imagery feel fresh, alive, and effortless.

By executing both the cinematography and still photography simultaneously, I established a unified, seamless aesthetic across motion and stills, delivering an elevated, cohesive campaign for Lavera’s firming skincare line.
