The Story

“When I was thirteen, I picked up my father's camera. Everything changed.”

I don't chase perfect light — I wait for honest light. Every commission begins with days of listening before a single frame is exposed, because the photograph people remember is never the one they posed for.

  • 2009First roll of Tri-X in my father's Nikon FM2.
  • 2014Left advertising. Sold the car. Bought a 35mm lens.
  • 2018First cover — a fisherman in Lofoten, shot at ISO 6400.
  • 2024Patagonia Expedition, forty days on foot.
  • 2025Sony World Photography Award, First Place Landscape.

Case Study — 2025

Patagonia Expedition

The Brief

Forty days crossing the Southern Ice Field with a medium-format body, two lenses, and no resupply. The commission asked for six images. We came back with thirty-eight worth printing — and one that ran across two pages.

Clients

What stays with them

We booked a photographer and received an archive. Two of the frames now hang in our flagship store, three metres wide.

Ilse Vandenberg

Creative Director, Maison Rive

Forty days in Patagonia and not one complaint. The pictures came back with the weather still inside them.

Marcus Lehr

Editor, Expedition Quarterly

Our guests never noticed a camera. That is the entire review. The album made my mother cry twice.

Questions

Before you write

Weddings: nine to fourteen months. Editorial and commercial: three weeks is usually enough, though expedition work needs a season of planning.

Constantly. Roughly half of each year is spent away from the studio. Travel and lodging are quoted transparently at cost.

A ten-frame preview within 72 hours. Full delivery in two to eight weeks depending on the commission.

Yes. Standard commercial licences run 24 months, territory-wide, with extensions available.

It usually does. Bad weather is the best light there is — but any date can be moved once at no cost.
