Photography, video, sound and design — four disciplines that come together in most projects anyway.
I photograph for companies, hotels, restaurants and private clients: events, portraits, food, products, interiors and architecture. The work happens in the studio or on location, depending on where the subject is. What you get is not a collection of single frames but a set that holds together — the look is agreed before the shoot and applies to every picture in it.
Trailers, image films, commercials and reportage, from the idea to the edit. A film says in thirty seconds what a page of text cannot. Here it comes from the same hand as the photographs and carries the same visual language — including when both are made on the same day. Sound, sound design and editing are part of it and are not bought in.
No concert without balanced sound, no presentation without a microphone voice you can follow. I mix voices, music and effects for the stage, for film and for a slideshow. Most of the time this runs quietly inside a production; it can just as well be booked on its own.
Business card, flyer, logo, banner, website. Design is made here alongside the pictures rather than apart from them, which is why the two end up fitting together. What I am after is recognition — on the printed piece as much as on the screen.

Brand films, commercials, event trailers and music videos — from idea to final cut.
Technique, composition and editing, matched to your level and your goals.
The four areas are rarely booked apart, because they are rarely needed apart: at an event the photographs and the film are made on the same evening, an image film needs sound, and both should look like the printed piece lying next to them. Because it all comes from one hand, nothing is bought in and nothing has to be matched up afterwards — it is made together from the start. What you need is usually not settled at the outset, which is why a project begins with a conversation rather than with a choice from a list.
The questions that come before an inquiry — what something costs, how an offer comes about, when I can be reached, and what applies when a job is outside the Rhine-Main region. Each answer has its own page:
Under the Nexentrium brand, the same company develops software products of its own: platforms for recruiting, agency operations and image production. This is not client development work and it is not on the price list — but it belongs to Multi Media Design Patrick Schmetzer, and anyone who asks will find it here.

Photography means art. It is like a painting whose colors, contours, patterns or faces invite us to look deeper. We make a “picture” of it, whether consciously or unconsciously.
