Joakim Hertze

Here are a few true statements about me:

1. I make portraits of people and places, often with an editorial flair.
2. I have an aptitude for quiet, and I believe that it shows in my work.
3. I’m a collector rather than a director — I like to plan shoots just enough and then let them play out as they will.
4. I prioritize emotion over technical perfection and I prefer images that feel like memories.
5. I live in the south of Sweden, with my wife, my kids and a huge Rhodesian Ridgeback.

I’m available for commissioned editorial portraiture and together with my wife I also shoot families, maternity and sometimes weddings.
