"Photograph because you love doing it, because you absolutely have to do it, because the chief reward is going to be the process of doing it. Other rewards - recognition, financial remuneration - come to so few and are so fleeting... Take photography on as a passion, not a career."

My Turnaround
Hire me to tell your stories, visually
A few years ago, the pieces finally fell into place. Until then, I had simply been taking pictures of the people I met and the things I saw. My photos were merely records, without any real connection. This led to an existential crisis in my photography career, where I tried to understand the meaning of it all. Why was I taking pictures? What did I want to achieve with them?
I realized that the most important thing for me was to tell stories through my pictures. I wanted to create compelling images that tell stories about us as humans and the nature we are a part of.
My portrait sessions, wedding sessions, and so on are therefore not just documentation. They are vivid visual narratives about people and the events in their lives.
Feel free to call or write for a chat about what I can offer. I am, in fact, a photo amateur in the true sense of the word: (ama = love), (teur = one who does something). In other words, I photograph out of love for images and storytelling, not to make a living. This is how I can keep my prices at an absolute minimum. That’s how it has been for the past 30 years, and that’s likely how it will continue.
Photographer, Eskil Frøding
