SVEN JACOBSEN presents you his new reel and is now represented by BRANSCH – and meet BRANSCH at UPDATE-23-BERLIN

Photographer and director Sven Jacobsen is known for his authentic visual language and timeless snapshots. His photography is marked by a deep appreciation for simplicity and mindfulness. In an increasingly complex and artificial world, Sven’s work represents a consistent call for preserving genuine truth, a theme that he masterfully imbues in his pictures.

He finds joy in the simple things and the aesthetics of the moment, using his artistic vision to capture and convey mood. Emotionality, lightness, and authenticity are paramount in Sven’s approach, as he seeks to uncover the essence of his subjects, embracing imperfections and conveying warmth and truth.

Through his emotional and evocative style, Sven’s images serve as an homage to a world that is often overlooked but still very much present and beckoning to us every day. His visual language defies the modern-day obsession with perfection and instead captures the beauty of real life, inviting viewers to share in the wonder of the world around them.

Sven Jacobsen is now represented by Bransch.

SVEN JACOBSENS PICTURES SHOW A STRONG WISH BACK TO THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE, BACK TO MORE AWARENESS. THEY ARE ALSO A RADICAL DEMAND TO PRESERVE THE LOVE TO GENUINE TRUTH.
I TRY TO FIND SOUL IN A COLD, OVER-ENGINEERED WORLD AND TRY TO FREEZE IT IN PICTURES. I SIMPLY TRY TO LOCATE BLISS IN THE SIMPLE THINGS, IN THE AESTHETICS OF THE MOMENT, IN ORDER TO RENDER A MOOD VISIBLE AND I AM MOSTLY CONCERNED WITH EMOTIONALITY, LIGHTNESS AND AUTHENTICITY.
ALL THIS CAN BE UNDERSTOOD IN DIFFERENT VARIATIONS: FOR ME ITS ACCEPTATION IS BACK TO THE SIMPLE THINGS, TO THE ESSENCE, BACK TO THE ROOTS, BACK HOME, FIND PEACE OF MIND, AWAY FROM TOO MUCH PERFECTION, LEAVE THE ACHIEVEMENT-ORIENTED LIFESTYLE BEHIND, BACK TO REAL WARMTH AND TRUTH.
 
YOU CAN ALSO RECOGNIZE THIS WISH IN HIS PICTURE LANGUAGE. THE PICTURES ARE ALL WARM AND EMOTIONAL. THEY DEFY TOO MUCH PERFECTION.
 
THEY ARE SOMETHING OF AN HOMAGE TO A WORLD THAT IS VERY CLOSE AND BECKONS DAILY, AND TO LIFE AND ITS EXHIBITIONS
