OUR JOURNEY

OUR JOURNEY

In 1983, at age three, our founder Victor first fell in love with his father’s Rollei 35. Years later, after shooting with DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, he set out to bring that same sense of control to iPhone photography.

OUR FOUNDER

Photographer, Scientist, and Entrepreneur

Dr. Victor Henning

The inspiration was a magical moment in 1983 when our founder Victor, at age 3, fell in love with his father’s Rollei 35 camera. He’s been shooting photos on DSLRs and mirrorless cameras ever since. Frustrated by the lack of tactile controls on smartphones, he created Fjorden to bring the experience of real cameras to his iPhone.
Victor previously created Mendeley, one of the world’s largest platforms for scientific collaboration. He is Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, former Tech Advisor to the UK & Dutch Government, former Professor at VU Amsterdam, and holds a Ph.D. from Bauhaus University Weimar.

IN THE HANDS OF PHOTOGRAPHERS

“As a professional photographer with decades of experience, Fjorden represents a dream I've had for many years: A phone that feels like a camera!”

Essdras M Suarez , 2x Pulitzer Prize-winning Photojournalist

“The ingenious design has made me behave differently and, as promised by the hype, shoot with my iPhone more seriously, with more consideration and creative intent.”

Ben Brain, UK-based Photographer, award-winning journalist and author.

“The Fjorden Grip is a well-designed, useful tool for mobile photographers that delivers on the promises it made back when it first came to Kickstarter. It’s easy to use, makes shooting one-handed much easier, and is adaptable to different workflows."

Ted Kritsonis, Journalist and an avid photographer
