featured by Heiko Richard : ‘DANCING WITH MYSELF’ – HEIKO RICHARD photographs the PORSCHE MACAN in the new color Papaya for INTERSECTION MAGAZINE Germany on the Lofoten Islands

The Lofoten Islands, known for the aurora borealis, mountain peaks protruding from the surface of the ocean, the midnight sun and small fishing villages, served as the impressive setting for the shoot by HEIKO RICHARD for INTERSECTION MAGAZINE Germany – for which the photographer accompanied a PORSCHE MACAN with a camera and drone. He presents us the result here in ‘DANCING WITH MYSELF’ (styling: Luis Hartmann, casting: Remi Felipe, model: Kassim Traore c/o EliteParis, and creative direction by OOR Studio with post by Grainbird).

The Porsche Design Team was asked about the new color Papaya in the magazine : “Besides Macan’s new elegant color Gentian Blue, we wanted to offer an additional, very sporty tone. Which is why we suggested Papaya which is also part of the Panamera color program… I think we succeeded quite well in doing so with the name Papaya. The intensive orange-yellow hue of the papaya fruit immediately comes to mind along with memories of summer.” The complete interview is available via INTERSECTION as well as further works by Heiko on heiko-richard.com.
