Welcome to its the world as we know it – a photography blog displaying my work, trying to share moments of beauty and awe.

My name is Henning and photography is a long-term passion of mine. Initially inspired by others in my family sharing this passion, I started to experiment with image taking quite a while ago. To me photography is about capturing a moment and an emotion while preserving what is unique and might vanish in the moment after.

This mostly applies to moments that I have experienced while being out in nature or travelling. Being outdoors and being connected to nature is an emotional experience to me, creating a feeling of humbleness inside. Nature is beautiful, ever changing, essential, ...we as humans are part of it and depend on it. But nature does not depend on us. This is how we should treat what’s and who's around us. With great respect.

Why 'it’s the world as we know it'

The name is derived from R.E.M.’s song 'it’s the end of the world as we know it'. A great song. With my photography, I intend to show the world as it is, in all its facets, the good, the bad and the ugly; the good worth preserving, the bad to be dealt with and the ugly to be changed. It’s to document the world as we know it, and to inspire to respect and preserve it as well as to change it for the better.
