about

Inspired by his father, Fred Kamphues took his first photographs at the age of five. Ever since, he has been intrigued by the story a powerful image can tell. With a strong appetite for science, travel and adventure, many of his projects have epic proportions. His shoots range from the heights of the Andes to the depths of marine life throughout the world, from weeks of desolation in the outback to close encounters with rumbling volcanoes. Fred also covers the construction of large astronomical observatories and is a Photo Ambassador for the European Southern Observatory.
