AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH Sascha van der Werf

His Carinthian and Dutch roots can be found in his work while capturing touching moments today. He successfully completed his master's degree in business and then worked for several years in marketing and key account management, including Apple Austria. Photography didn't count for him at the time, though his father's good old Minolta always pointed the lens at him.

Sascha van der Werf is the creative type who cannot sit still and wants to bring his ideas into a form. Looking closely at his work, you will immerse yourself in the world of a human to whom it is essential to share his vision with optimism and to convey the message in a dignified aesthetic.

Lens Magazine: Thank you, Sascha, for taking the time to have a chat with Lens Magazine. We were very impressed by your work solely dedicated to Black and White photography. As we visited your website, we saw several main fields you have focused on in the past years: Boudoir, Street Photography, and Portraits. All are made in an extraordinarily high level of expertise. Let's start with your background as a photographer. Where did you study the field? How did your journey in photography start?

Sascha van der Werf: In 2017 I turned 40. And Like many forty-year-olds, I began to wonder if this was really the life I always wanted. The few documents (a few personal snapshots) were not enough to deduce who I am, what I love, and what is really important to me in my life.
