Photography and post-production, photography and AI, on-shoot photography, drone support,... there's a lot of movement in the field of professional photography, and new concepts continue to enter the market with unbridled force thanks to new tools. What's going on, what's staying put - who knows... one thing is certain, as always: sitting it out at home certainly won't work.
"Our SHOWCASE offers photographers and solo artists the opportunity to present their portfolios to a professional audience consisting of art buyers, art producers, and direct clients at the UPDATE SALON. We are currently working hard on producing the event..." Cyrus C. Halabian c/o UPDATE.Salon.
The beauty of UPDATE is that it offers creatives the opportunity to exchange ideas and simultaneously serves as a barometer of the mood. Of course, AI has long since become a ubiquitous part of the market. The question remains: which creatives understand how to integrate it most effectively so that both clients and consumers are delighted with the results?
In 2025, the following photographers and post-artists will present themselves as part of the SHOWCASE at UPDATE-25-BERLIN :
Christiane Baumgart
Darius Ramazani

The Berin-based photographer J. KONRAD SCHMIDT portrayed David Dastmalchian. The images appeared in INTERVIEW Magazine alongside an interview with the actor and Trent Reznor (NIN), as well as in Variety, Soundsphere Magazine, and other publications. The portraits recently won Silver at the Prix de la Photographie Paris 2024 and received an "Honorable Mention" at the IPA Awards 2024.
David Dastmalchian’s face is instantly recognizable – and hard to forget. The 48-year-old actor and writer first came into the spotlight in 2008 with his portrayal of the Joker's henchman in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. Even then, his distinctive look and compelling performance left a lasting impression. Since then, Dastmalchian has become a go-to actor for filmmakers who want to infuse their films with a sense of darkness or subtle unease.
With his intense gaze and unique ability to bring depth and complexity to even the smallest roles, Dastmalchian has secured a strong place for himself in Hollywood. It is particularly his portrayal of ambiguous, often sinister characters that has earned him a special niche in the film industry. The actor is much more than just the “bad guy” or supporting character: he is a master at drawing the audience in with just a few scenes. Dastmalchian has appeared in Oppenheimer, Dune, The Dark Knight, Blade Runner 2049, The Suicide Squad, and many other films.
