Jens Lennartsson - Minimalist Photo Office


Minimalist photographer, Jens Lennartsson, travels the world in search of fascinating stories to tell. It’s fair to say that he probably has the smallest photo office in the world. As a minimalist, he’s cut out all the fat and only takes what he really needs.


“You only need a camera that is good enough for what you’re going to do.”


In the short video above, he explains how he creates all his work while on the road using only the simplest of tools. He uses a single fixed lens camera, a notebook, an e-reader, Bluetooth keyboard, portable power supply, and his phone. All of which can pack up into a very small bag you could throw over your shoulder. That’s about as minimalist as one could get.


Lennartsson’s camera of choice is FujiFilm x100T. His primary computing device is his iPhone 6 which he uses to edit his photos, upload them, and write blog posts. His portable power supply allows him to keep all his devices charged while on the go.

Lennartson says, “This setup fits me and my needs. You don’t need the best camera. You only need a camera that is good enough for what you’re going to do.”


I think we all could learn a little from Jens and his work. To see some of his work, check out his site here.
