SVEN KRISTIAN RAMACHERS

PHOTOGRAPHER – VARIOUS ONGUZA BRAND VISUALS

  

Sven Kristian is a Namibian freelance photographer living and working in Cape Town, South Africa. Sven grew up in Walvis Bay, affording him plenty of ancient sand and icy ocean waters to play around with and explore during his forming years. 

 

His journey has taken him from a bland profession in the hospitality industry that lasted for over 10 years, to a beautiful roller coaster ride of a career in photography. 

 

His key interests lie in commercial fashion, editorial fashion, advertising, portraiture - sometimes documentary and landscape, and sometimes conceptual.

 

In Sven’s personal work he aims to take the viewer on journeys that feel strangely familiar and vivid, yet often landing in surreal and dreamy perspectives. His photography is peppered with nostalgia, and he enjoys bringing those subtle details of past aesthetics, that he remembers from his childhood, into many of his projects.
