models.com has this to say about Mr. Hermann:
"His Teutonic glamour served him very well in those amazing DKNY ads shot by Mikael Jansson and his laid back turn in the last Gucci campaign lead us to the conclusion that Axel is that matinee idol/model who is the epitome of modern romance."
Axel is also described as a "pleasure to work with," "totally nice," and a real mensch." In the often high tension and big ego environment of a photo shoot, an easygoing model is a definite plus. - as commented by one modelwatcher.
Axel's modeling career is being handled by some of the biggest modeling agencies in the world, including Ford Models in the US and WhyNotModels in Milan, Italy.
