svensøn · photographer

svensøn lives and works in Hamburg. Trained as an engineer with an entrepreneurial background, he initially turned to photography as a counterbalance – later as a focused artistic practice. What began incidentally evolved into a distinct visual language shaped by clarity, reduction, and a precise reading of light, space, and structure. His work moves between street, architecture, and abstract form – working primarily in black and white and almost exclusively with the Leica Monochrom. High contrast, clean geometry, and calm, graphic composition define his style. People appear not as protagonists but as part of the urban fabric: rhythmic, incidental, embedded in lines, edges, and intervals. His photographs have been exhibited at NIO House Hamburg and Courtyard Marriott Hamburg, among others, and at international festivals including the Treviso Photographic Festival and Venice Photo LAB. His work has received several photographic awards. His book project MONO/POLY – aesthetic reality marks a further step in refining his visual approach. Alongside his own projects, he offers workshops and photowalks in minimalist black-and-white photography. His method combines the analytical precision of an engineer with the sensitivity of an observer: seeing quietly, composing precisely, simplifying with intention. He approaches contemporary black-and-white photography not with more noise, but with more stillness – structured, poetic, and reduced to the essential.
