Yearning for a sense of freedom. Permission to Play. Leif Sebastian’s approach: «I like to plan but also to be present enough to be informed by my surroundings»
Leif Sebastian shooting for Lampoon Issue 24
Nature spots within London, places I’ve begun to cherish as the world seems to get smaller. To photograph with film – the layering process gives the images some space to breathe and travel from light to negative, to chemistry and to light again and then to paper and screens
Leif Sebastian
London based photographer with a foundation in documentary and portraiture. Sebastian looks to where we find beauty and how that plays into the absurd and subtle surreality in the everyday. His relaxed and naturalistic approach to photographing portraiture lends particularly well to his fashion images as well and provides a nice cross over between genres.
