Campus Calendar 01/2019: Esther Appel
Campus Calendar 2019 - Esther Appel starts it off. The idea for the January picture was born during a walk in the woods.
"I had talked to my sister about culturally different ideals of beauty. Then I came up with the idea of visualizing the theme. The natural materials I used were intended to provide an alternative to traditional ideals of beauty, such as long, strong hair, and to make people think".
Esther has been a passionate photographer since she was sixteen. She had already thought about studying photography after finishing school but then decided to study biology. "That is also a great passion of mine and here I saw the path to a solid career."
"I was looking for a way to raise myself up to a professional level as a photographer and came across the United POP."
After a few years, Esther's dream of taking pictures was a reality. "I find the staging and realization of hidden perspectives and possibilities through photos so fascinating." The young photographer is interested in different cultures and points of view - at the Campus in Hamburg, she learned how to combine her passion with her profession.
"I enjoyed the time very much - I had a lot of fun and was inspired again and again!
"Meanwhile I have completed my courses and would like to establish myself in the field of advertising and fashion photography. I am sure that many exciting projects are waiting for me out there."
