Flags

When the colours of a national flag are flown in a private environment, considerable commitment and investment are necessary, yet the surroundings often are at odds with the pride meant to be dipslayed. While some of the citizens who nail their colours to the flag post live the high life of the petite bourgeoisie, others seem to be the ones that, while ostensibly caring for their nations, are in turn often not very well cared for by it.

    My Portfolios

    Industrial & Science Portfolio

    I shoot on location in labs, factories, and research facilities, working with genuine curiosity for the processes and the people running them.

    With more than a decade of experience in industrial, science, and corporate photography, I also bring an understanding of the world I shoot in to every assignment – earned through completing a PhD and years heading communications across research, business, and startup environments.

    Product Portfolio

    What I enjoy about product photography is that through spending time with an object that otherwise gets overlooked as a mere utility, beauty can be found in unexpected places.

    Making the extraordinary within the ordinary visible for others always is a very exciting process.

    Portrait Portfolio

    In the words of Arnold Newman, Portrait photography is 10% inspiration and 90% moving furniture.

    It never ceases to amaze me how, by moving some furniture around and thus creating a carefully designed context for the subject, photography can condense the many facets of a personality into a still image.
