Sascha Hüttenhain

By

Sascha Hüttenhain was born in the southern part of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Growing up there, he discovered his passion for photography at an early age and began expressing his ideas and inspirations through artistic images. In the beginning, he worked for various photographers, assisting them in their daily work, until his path eventually led him to self-employment.
Since then, he has worked as a freelance photographer for national and international clients across a wide range of industries and is credited as a Canon Ambassador. Most of his work is realized in his studios in Frankfurt and Siegen, where he finds ideal conditions and can fully explore playing with light and shadow. This aspect especially fascinates and defines his photography and visual language.

Which visual mediums do you use?

Photography

How did you get started in this?

I was introduced to photography through my father, who was also involved in it. I’ve always been fascinated by what you can create with a camera, and eventually, I picked one up myself and began making my first attempts.

Do you have a particular area of interest or genre you’re interested in? If so, what interests you about it?

I primarily work with people. This ranges from portraits to sports to fashion, and even includes nude photography.

Who and/or what inspires you most?

It’s always an exciting new challenge to portray people in a different way while expressing my photographic style. Every shoot is a unique experience that will only happen once, which makes it all the more fascinating — because you can never fully predict what kind of images you’ll end up creating.

What do you like about it?

Both are highly refined products that make a photographer’s life easier in no time and can be used with just a few clicks. That’s ideal, as they integrate seamlessly into the workflow without causing delays.

How does it help you bring your creative vision to life?

They simplify my workflow, giving me more time to focus on my work.

Why is accurate color important within your workflow?

Especially for photo assignments where color accuracy is crucial, it’s extremely important that the colors of outfits or skin tones are absolutely consistent. That’s where the tools mentioned above come into perfect use.

What was the key factor that made you decide to use color management?

At first, most people probably try to get by without color management and rely solely on their eyes. But as soon as differences and color shifts appear from one monitor to another—or between the screen and a printed piece on paper—your perspective changes, and you start to take action.

What’s your biggest challenge at work these days?

I’ve optimized my workflow very well by now, so I don’t really face any challenges that hinder my work process anymore.

What’s your objective when you create something?

I try to create timeless works with my photos that can be hung on the wall. I believe that a picture should have an impact through its simplicity and expressiveness, and this is my primary goal.

Best bit of advice you ever got?

Work consciously and with a plan and goal, and only press the shutter when you are convinced of a subject. I live by this philosophy in every shoot and take fewer photos, which also optimizes my workflow for reviewing and selecting later.
