svensøn – photographer

svensøn lives and works in Hamburg. Trained as an engineer with an entrepreneurial background, he first turned to photography as a counterbalance – later as a dedicated artistic practice. What began incidentally soon developed 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 – always 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, as well as at international festivals including the Treviso Photographic Festival and Venice Photo LAB. His work has also been recognized with several photographic awards. His book project MONO/POLY – aesthetic realitymarks another step in refining his visual approach.

Alongside his own projects, he offers workshops and photowalks in minimalist black-and-white photography. His method blends the analytical precision of an engineer with the sensitivity of an observer: seeing quietly, composing precisely, simplifying with intention. With a growing portfolio, he positions himself as a photographer who approaches contemporary black-and-white not with more noise, but with more stillness – structured, poetic, and reduced to the essential.
