About
Based in Los Angeles, California, Sven’s passion for photography took a great leap forward after his move from Germany in 2004. Like so many others he wasn’t able to resist the American West’s temptations with all it’s glorious natural and urban landscapes, eccentric inhabitants and this sun light so appealing to a whole movie and also photography industry.
Initially shaping his skills with street, travel and landscape photography he is now putting his focus on merging people photography with his professional background in CGI to excel professional standards in commercial as well as artistic standards in fine art photography. He also fills his spare time with shooting portraits of befriended musicians on stage or random people of interest in the streets around the globe.
