With the availability of the first mobile camera phones, most of the (professional) photographers immediate qualified the camphone as a gadget, not taken to be serious - a non issue. Guido Karp, born in 1963 in Mayen, Eifel (Germany) and professional photographer, is changing the image of today’s mobile camera phone. At the IFA 2007 Guido Karp exhibits his experience with his mobile phone and showcased an impressive series of photos that are part of a series that will be available starting October 2007 in his book “The Nudes - Photography with a Cyber-shot mobile)”. Guido Karp used a Sony Ericsson K810i Cyber-shot mobile phone and printed large format photos without any photo correction.
Professional nude photography
Images of the greatest stars of the rock and pop music scenes have been captured through his lens: Last year at Photokina 2006, the professional and well-known photographer Guido Karp once again provided a detailed insight into the tools of his art. Ambitious hobby photographers has also the chance to learn how to create professional-quality portraits using simple equipment. And in 2006, female visitors enjoyed once again the opportunity to be transformed by the leading stylist Ulrich Remus into a “Princess for one day,” before being photographed by the master himself, Guido Karp.

The exhibit - Guido Karp: The Nudes could be visited at the IFA 2007. According to Guido: “Rock ‘N Roll and beautiful woman have always been one to me. New to me is the experience of taking photos for such an exhibit with my Sony Ericsson K810i mobile phone.” All of the exhibited photos were taken after work around the rehearsals of the Genesis “Turn it on Again” tour - straight off the camera - and printed without photo correction or touch up on Hahnemuehle Lumijet Photo Art 210 using Epson pigmented ink with an Epson Stylus Pro 9800.

The Sony K810 / K818 Cyber-shot phone is a sleek, high-performance device boasting a 3.2 megapixel camera including auto focus and Xenon flash. When in camera mode, the Xenon flash with red eye reduction will help to achieve great picture results in low-light conditions. Equally, the illuminated Camera Icons will allow the user to select advanced camera settings (such as picture size & self timer) by simply clicking on one of the hard keys; so no need to navigate into the full camera menu and risk missing that special shot.
