I don’t show you what your life could look like.

I show you what it was really like.

Sometimes it’s the little things that come to mean the most. The way your child plays with their fingers while lost in thought, the games siblings keep inventing, or the story you read together before bed.

Right now, these things are simply part of your life. And that’s exactly what I want to photograph for you.

I photograph a day in your family’s life: your routines, your quirks and your relationships. So that, later on, you can look back together and see what life was like. And you, as parents, will be in the pictures too.

“It’s incredibly fascinating to see your own family life through someone else’s eyes.”

Susanne Werding · Family documentary in Düsseldorf · Translated from German

Hi, I’m Sven.

I’m a father of three. When my first child was born, photography took on a new meaning for me.

I take the time to get to know the families I photograph. I want you to feel comfortable enough to simply get on with your day.

I live in Dresden and photograph families throughout Germany and Austria. The stories that interest me aren’t tied to any one place.
