Professional watersports Photography & Videography

Outdoor action sports media

I specialize in outdoor photography and video production, especially for watersports, including windsurfing, kitesurfing, wingfoiling, surfing and beach & travel lifestyle. With a focus on capturing action, emotion and the awesomeness of the sports, I create high-quality visual content for brands, athletes and media outlets.

Jens Hogenkamp Profile

Jens Hogenkamp, Portrait, Wave Rock Western Australia

“I shoot where it’s sandy, salty, dusty, stormy and wet – the moments others shy away from, I capture up close."


Whether with powerful studio flashes or natural light, excellent telephoto lenses, my underwater housings or even raincovers —I'm keen to any shooting situation.

Based in Kiel, Germany, I work globally, offering suitable solutions for commercial campaigns, editorial projects, and branded content creation. Whether you’re looking to showcase your brand’s lifestyle, promote an event, or highlight an athlete, I bring your vision to life.

High-end videography demands visions and pro-level gear- powerful, heavy, costly. But it’s worth it!

Pro-level surf surfing and ocean photographer gear: full wetsuit, swim fins, high-end-underwater camera underwater housing for extended outdoor shoots in dynamic ocean conditions

Swim. Shoot. Stay out. One of my setups for extended ocean sessions: thick wetsuit, hood, socks, fins and a super solid high-end camera underwater housing — lets me stay in the water for hours and capture every moment, no matter the conditions.

Below some statements from media editors about my work:

"Jens Hogenkamp is the shooting star among kite photographers, not least because of his spectacular flash photos."

KITELIFE:
"Anyone who followed last year's ION Photo Award will inevitably have been drawn to your pictures because they simply couldn't help but say 'Wow'."

KIELERLEBEN:
„Jens Hogenkamp is a passionate sports photographer. He often uses multiple flashes in his sports shoots, which makes the photos look particularly intense and colorful.“
