About Me



Eisen  /ˈīˈzen/  n. from the German language
  1. English translation: iron (chemical element, Fe)
  2. fine art and lifestyle photographer
     got his first camera when he was 5 and has been
     happily snapping away ever since

I'm a full-time dad raising 3 lovely girls while doing photography on the side.

I started doing commercial work as a full time photographer in 2003.

In 2007, I had to take on more family responsibilities and took a step back from photography to join the work force. But after a 5-year tour of duty in the corporate world I'm back behind the camera.

I'm a craftsman of light, shadow, and form in photography. Digital image editing (aka Photoshop) does make work easier… but I find it more fun and challenging to get it right in camera.

I do not have my own studio. A friend already owns a studio next door to my place. I have my own lighting gear but I rent his studio when required. It keeps me from having to maintain a full time studio and helps him in his business. But again, I do have my own set of lighting gear and very skilled in doing shoots on location.

I'm also an educator and conduct photography workshops as well as mentor at a local art and design school.

I do not give work free for the "exposure"... I’ve got bills to pay, photography gear that wears out, a family to feed, and kids to put through school. Though I will take on TFP collaborations on a limited basis but the output would have to be something that would add value to my portfolio. So you should be ready to be pushed out of your comfort zone.

Cheers!
