He's a true artist and one to take every detail to perfection.  He takes his time, looks at everything.  Olaf understands the parameters of the jobs and brings a very dramatic flair to each piece--you can trust him to take a project and run with it.  It's a real pleasure working with him.

We used his art in our marketing materials much longer than conventional marketing wisdom would have dictated.  The idea is that you need to keep refreshing your look, but we found ourselves reluctant to let go of his images.  They were so well received.  So much of what we did evolved around those images.  He captured seasons and moods with enough variation, the images never felt worn.

As a designer, working with Olaf's images is always a pleasure.  I can let the design be a quiet cup surrounding his incredible images and they fill that cup so absolutely, with dignity, restraint, and complexity.  As a poet, I feel that he is creating visual equivalents of what I'm trying to achieve with words, a wash of emotions, a precision of beauty.

I can't tell you how many comments we get on our website.  He's exceedingly easy to work with, and as much as he's an artist, he's also incredibly responsive under time constraints.  He's always come through for us when we needed him.

Olaf finds the voice and soul of a place.  Each photograph is so deep and tactile it's as if you can reach into the image and touch it.  Technically, I'm astounded with his passion for detail.  His work is simply exquisite.  I am always honored when given the opportunity to work with his photography.

Olaf is a God.

You can tell him what you want and send him off with very little or no direction, and he absolutely manages to find the perfect photograph that expresses the essence of the place.  From inception through production, Beckmann helps you see things in this other way.  His work is about discovery and surprise, the essence of art.
