Hi, I'm Philipp Groß, a Berlin-based photographer and studio producer with over a decade of experience shaping images from conception to final shoot. I started as a Photography Assistant in 2007 and grew into a Head of Photography at Zalando Studios, overseeing art buying, budgeting, scheduling, recruiting and studio operations. Since 2013 I have run my own studio in Hamburg and later transitioned to freelance work, delivering photo production, consulting and image-making for brands and platforms. Most recently I led studio production and imaging projects for Gorillas and, since 2022, have been a project management and production partner at Cherrydeck GmbH while continuing to work as a freelance producer and photographer. I value clear processes, creative collaboration and hands-on shooting that tells authentic stories.
