We meet up with Danish photographer Ken Hermann in his home country of Denmark, though it’s more often that you’ll find him on the road. Hermann specializes in portrait photography, traveling the world to uncover the untold stories of everyday life in every kind of community. His work’s been featured in National Geographic, Wired, and CNN, and in galleries around the globe, introducing people to the candid faces and places most wouldn’t know. Here, we talk about his love for travel, how he finds his next subject, and what he created for our DELSEY Paris collaboration.

It may not feel instinctive for a photographer to release control, but Ollie Wan knows that oftentimes, letting go is the deciding factor between a good photo, and a great one. The nomadic photographer lets his travels guide his lens, leaning into longer-term stays to truly understand a place. Most recently, that’s been in Costa Rica, where he spends his days following local surfers as they navigate the rewarding and unpredictable nature of the ocean. We spoke with Ollie about his start with photography, the lessons the water has taught him, and what he created for our DELSEY Paris collaboration.

The desert of the American Southwest is both familiar and mysterious, providing a bottomless source of inspiration for centuries. The land stands as both what you need it to be and what it always has been. Few understand that as well as Petecia Le Fawnhawk. The multi-media artist grew up in Arizona and returned to New Mexico as an adult, developing modern surrealist works intentionally around the landscape. By blending the digital and physical, Le Fawnhawk creates a singular vision into otherworldly univeses. Learn more about her artistic expression and what she made for our DELSEY Paris collaboration.

There are photos that strike you and photos that change you. Looking at the work of Brazilian photographer Gleeson Paulino, you’ll find layers of light, color, and contrast that not only land on an aesthetic level, but encourage the viewers to dig deeper. “Through my lens, I strive to share this vivid world with others, hoping to spread appreciation for the small, yet profoundly beautiful moments in life,” says Paulino. Across city backdrops and rural retreats, Paulino delves into commercial and personal works that touch on identity, celebration, hope, belonging — the unique mosaic of experiences universal to people around the world. Discover how he got started, the new projects he’s diving into, and what he created for our New Horizons World Tour collaboration with DELSEY Paris.

Honest, simple, but with a lasting impact. That’s how Chilean photographer Mairo Arde would describe his own work. No need for a signature style, the common thread that connects all of Arde’s work — be it fashion, editorial, personal — is his approach: to stir something in its viewers. Whether it’s a striking composition, a bold burst of color, or a dramatic light source, Arde is an expert at unveiling an angle you haven’t considered before. Learn more about his start and creative process, as well as what he dreamed up for our DELSEY x Visual Pleasure collaboration.

The fanciful, the free, the familiar — photographer Abdulla Elmaz works in an emotional space that always seems to touch on all three. From capturing some of the most notable names and faces in the world (Dior, Givenchy, Lindsay Lohan) to making a name for himself in his personal work, Elmaz infuses his work with a hazy, dreamlike quality that pulls you in.
