2011 in numbers and pictures

Advertisement

What an amazing and great year we leave behind us – the team grew with the challenges and amount of traffic. We received another Lead Award and became international. Along the way we published almost 1000 pictures, more than 30 Interviews, 10 Videos, set up teams in New York City, London, Paris, Sao Paulo and expanded our reach in Berlin. In addition to all the above we produced and published our first book.

Today, after our first working day in this new, exciting year, we dived deep into our numbers and analyzed some of our stats. Hereby we want to give some insight into FvF and also want to thank our readers and supporters. We also want to send a big thank you to our clients and partners who helped make all this possible and enabled us to travel the world. All these journeys and experiences could easily fit into two years. We travelled to New Zealand, from Australia to Indonesia, India, China and the United States, explored Brazil, South Africa and then back to Paris, London and Helsinki.

A lot people asked us „what is our favorite portrait or picture on FvF?“ Well, it‘s almost impossible to make such a call. Perhaps it was meeting photographer legend Michael Halsband who talked about his first time shooting for the Rolling Stones? Or the impressive wardrobe of Luc Besson’s confidante Claire Safronoff in Paris? Maybe it was the lovely details in illustrator Frank Höhnes apartment („Willße mippm Rauchen aufhörn“)?

But who are we to decide – see what our readers liked the most in 2011.
