This highly acclaimed, multi award winning photographer has an enormous collector database, ranging from Hollywood superstars and Italian fashion designers to Olympic Gold Medalists.

Even in today’s digital age he still prefers the tangible feel film offers along with its superior quality in medium format.

Cameron is now using medium format digital back’s that enable him to print large fine art prints that rival that of his panoramic Linhof system.
Hansen ranks among the worlds best in his field and is now looking to venture into other continents such as North America, to showcase his unique style of photography.
