Das Fotostudio

For us at the hub of the world.
In the Black Forest.
In Straubenhardt.
Exactly in D-75334 Straubenhardt, district Conweiler.
Because we belong exactly there, because here we find and have everything we need for our work: UPS, DHL, FEDEX, Internet, Skype, excellent facilities, dear, helpful people.
And: peace and quiet. Peace and quiet, to develop ideas for you, which have it in themselves.
Because here we can concentrate on your task and Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Strasbourg and the jewellery stronghold of Pforzheim can be reached quickly.

We have all the resources that a professional photo designer and photographer needs. We don’t do everything, but what we do, we do right.
With heart and soul.
That’s why this “province” is the hub of the world for us.

Who is EPPELT?

Very close: Christian Eppelt, born 1965 in Ulm an der Donau, technical school for photo design, assistant and photographer in the studio for advertising and catalogue photography Sihler ( here he learned how to photograph properly by hand ), studio manager in Offenburg and Pforzheim, Fuji Shooting Star #92, self-employed since 1994, because his future employer ( after Offenburg ) went bankrupt. BEFORE he started there !!!!. A small important detail.
Married and living in Straubenhardt – Conweiler, a town in the triangle between Karlsruhe and Pforzheim.

Who is ECHT?

Also very briefly: Mr. Baum from Voba Pforzheim discovered the ECHT. It’s not a natural person, not a business partner, it’s part of a person: the boss.
Because it all went so slowly back then with his own studio, he adopted a logo that his cousin had designed as part of her graphic design studies. Replaced the initials of her first name with his and the logo went on the business plan. And Mr. Baum read it as
ECHT EPPELT, gave it the thumbs up (it’s not just Facebook) and signed the funding application.

So the WHO is the WHY. ECHT EPPELT stands for identification with what he does, stands for the independence of what comes out.
It stands for commitment and is what is described today as a mission statement.

Retouch, Pre-Press

No photographer puts it on his website. Because they don’t have it, or don’t give it the importance it deserves.
We live on the Internet, 27-inch screens in the office are standard, we zoom on tablets and smartphones for all we’re worth. That’s why you need your own image processing, which is why this studio, which is certainly not one of the largest in the area, has 3 workstations in EBV.
So that the perfect polish of your products and color-accurate results are not a matter of chance. So that cut-outs don’t look like hedge clippers, composings are perfect and print-ready results are possible.
And as a service for your feet: we deliver ready-made. You don’t need a repro, you don’t have to worry about sending it to your advertising or web agency. We take care of it.

POST is sometimes also referred to as this department. We prefer to stick to the German descriptions:
Image processing, pre-press, retouching. In the highest quality.
Performed by people who have learned this from scratch and are always up to date in their profession.
To our services:
Exemption, correction of small defects, colour corrections, sharpening, preparing the data for the respective purpose: CMYK in the respective, optimal colour space for printing, cutting for the web and social media. Composings from single shots, stacking for the most extreme macro shots, integration into layouts and print templates.
This is what our image editing does. By the way, this also applies to images that do not originate from us.

Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, …

You should dance at all weddings. Says our intern, says the trade press, actually everyone says it. Even us.
But it’s not easy, there’s limited manpower, there are other appointments and contacts that need to be looked after. And the focus is on working for you.
That’s why we are neglecting Facebook for us at the moment, Snapchat is not our target group, but Instagram, Instagram we love that, photographers …. .
Instagram from the studio, Instagram from the boss and the studio dog Scooby will certainly be launching his own account soon 😉

Because we know how important it has become to be present on as many platforms as possible and because “somehow” doesn’t help, we have developed social media packages for our customers. From the photo to the maintenance of the complete account, we take care that the young world carries them to the wide world. That’s why our account suffers, but that’s not bad.
We work on a basis of trust, we are honest, we are cost-oriented. But we don’t give away our performance either and therefore we can live off it. That’s why you can still call us in 15 years. Many existing customer relationships have lasted that long with us. Actually – that’s not true at all, we have customers who have relied on us since 1994.

The best camera

Hangs between the two handles called ears, the second best camera is the one you have with you. Brand, shutter speed, weight, lowlightcapability (had to be looked up 😉 ).
All the same.
But it can be the best.
If a photographer doesn’t photograph for himself, he stops. Makes his craft neat, but never optimal in the long run. And he only offers craftsmanship.
Our free works, which are created on holiday, after work or during lunch break, are expression, passion and experiment. Sometimes everything in one, then it is succeeded, or only experiment. Then it is one more experience 😉 .

We don’t have any regional customers for some things. And despite the Internet, the distances are sometimes still long, so we concentrate on what we can do perfectly and the chef continues to dream of the image of a freshly grilled entrecote of Uruguayan Angus beef against the light of the setting sun, garnished with onion butter tossed in red wine and coarse sea salt.
But he would include you in his night prayers if you threatened such an order. He would also take vegan photos 😉
