About us

Two founders and a network of performers with tactical experience. Together we produce photo and video that stand up to specialist audiences.

Story

How it started

Vladislav Litau has been working in photography and film since 2021. Since 2024 he has produced photo and video content for fire services and their suppliers.

At several trade shows for law enforcement and defence, he noticed how few photographers and videographers in this field have genuine industry experience. All too often, the performers in front of the camera wear equipment and weapons incorrectly and move in a tactically sloppy way. Specialist audiences notice immediately.

Till Herrmann has built a large network of performers with tactical experience. He selects the right performers for every shoot, prepares them for the product and the scene, and keeps things running smoothly on set. Together, the two founded Black Frames Network.

Today we combine professional photo and video production with performers who know what they are doing. The result is footage that shows your products the way they are used in practice.

Performers

Who is in front of the camera

All our performers bring tactical experience. They know how equipment is worn and how to move safely with it.

The network currently includes performers from across Bavaria. We are continuously expanding it throughout Germany.

To protect them, we do not publish their names and only show faces with their approval.
