Photographer & visual storyteller
Erik Sven — photographer, amateur chef, and aging skateboarder based in the Pacific Northwest.
Erik creates photography and motion for design-led spaces, crafted objects, and the people who shape them. His work is defined by an attentive, observational approach that looks for quiet moments, subtle transitions, and the relationships between light, material, and form. Rooted in collaboration and clarity, his imagery reflects the intention behind the work with restraint and purpose.

Select clients include SKANSKA, FRANKiE4, Gelotte Hommas Drivdahl, TKP Design, Iron-Ridge Capital, KLD Real Estate Group, Driftmier Architects, Zumiez, and Heritage Realty Group.
His work has appeared in publications such as Dwell, Architectural Digest, Luxury Home Magazine, Bridle Trails Life, Zumiez catalogs, and other design and lifestyle publications.
Erik approaches each project with a quiet, deliberate mindset, allowing the work itself to guide what needs to be seen and felt. He looks for the understated details—shifts in light, material, and alignment—that reveal the story of a space or object. His practice is grounded in honoring design intent and creating images that hold clarity, presence, and intention.
