Ilka & Franz are a German/Austrian photographer and director duo based in London (UK). Their colourful and brave yet super neat visual language has seen the pair attract the attention of clients across the globe including Amazon, HP, IKEA, Nivea, Vodafone and many more.
Working with them is a great party from start to finish. These two are all about detail and preparation and a lot of work goes into each project before the actual shoot day. Set design, props, styling, colours and concepts, Ilka & Franz love being closely involved in every aspect of their shoots. Once on set, the two are flexible, great at thinking on the spot and getting the best out of every situation. Although you will see both Franz and Ilka behind the camera, each of them brings their own set of skills. Franz is a practical problem-solver who stays calm under pressure, while Ilka is the duo's critical eye and colour-pairing neat-freak. Mostly self-taught, this team keeps developing and pushing the boundaries - Anything is possible with these two!
