Guido Karp

Through his contacts in the European music media, Karp became "the man" for syndicating images of Australian pop and rock'n'roll bands in Europe, to continue as tour photographer of AC/DC, Modern Talking, Genesis,[3] John Farnham and Michael Jackson.

[4] Guido Karp also worked for Tokio Hotel, Bon Jovi, HIM, Backstreet Boys, Dire Straits, Tina Turner,[5] Rammstein.

The first three projects of "The FAN Association" were photo series by Spandau Ballet, Howard Carpendale, and "The Wall" with Pink Floyd at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin.

In the year 2000, as part of internationalization, the agency had to be renamed "FansUNITED" because the word "association" is reserved for charitable organizations about a company name in New Zealand and Canada.

[6][7] Since 2002, Guido Karp has been the lead photographer of the internationally most successful before-and-after show "Princess for one day" (P41D) and is a regular tutorial guest at the photo fair "Photokina", which was the world market leader at the time but has since been discontinued.

[9] In 2020, Karp toured Germany with the #kuenstlerhelfen charity project and – due to COVID-19 travel restrictions – mainly photographed German artists such as The Scorpions, Thomas Anders and Thomas D. The autographed exhibits are to be sold to benefit those "forgotten" by the system – roadies, vendors, and caterers of the Artist Tour family.

[10] On Feb 29, 2024, the Royal Mail released an eight-piece commemorative stamp set to honor the life and work of the late Maurice Gibb CBE of The Bee Gees www.iompost.com/MauriceGibb.
