Lean Ripke (founder)

"My dream since I am 12 years is to create something different, and here I am trying. I was born in Bremen. I moved to Mallorca in 2002 with my parents, where I spend 18 years of my life. With 17 I went to travel around the world where the idea of creating a brand got real. 2019 I moved to Hamburg where (with Marc Terrasa´s help) I opened BlondyBlack and I started my studies for International commerce that I finished 2022. Now I am working in a Marketing Agency and besides that I working for the dream, BLONDYBLACK.

"Hey there! I’m Pascal, a freelance photographer based in Hamburg, doing what I love for the past three years. My photography journey started right after high school during an unforgettable trip through India, where I discovered the magic of capturing real moments and emotions. Since then, I’ve been chasing those epic shots—whether it’s at cool events, organised shootings, in the streets, or while traveling. I’m also big into travel and sports photography, always up for the next adventure.

For the last three years, I’ve been closely working with Blondy Black on various shoots, witnessing the brand grow and the amazing community forming around it. And let me tell you, it’s been such an inspiring ride so far and lucky me I'm part of it."

TO ALL THE REST <3

Grateful Beyond Words

BlondyBlack wouldn’t be what it is today without the incredible people who have supported me along the way. So many amazing souls have jumped in, lent a hand, and believed in this vision — and I can’t even begin to express how much that means to me.

Whether it was helping at events, sharing ideas, modeling for shoots, or simply spreading good vibes — every bit of support has made a huge difference.

I’m truly grateful for each and every one of you. This journey has been wild, and I couldn’t have done it alone. Thank you for being part of it — for your energy, your time, and your belief in BlondyBlack.

Here’s to all of you — the real MVPs. ❤️
