Anselm Rook, photographer of quiet places.

Landscape, architecture, and still life. Based in Marseille, travelling wherever the light is worth the trip.

Brecon Beacons, Wales 2016

“I go back to the same few places until the weather does something worth keeping. Most days it doesn't, and those days teach me where to stand.”

Anselm Rook Photographer, Marseille

Commissions for these makers

Said after the shoot.

“He waited two days for the right overcast sky and never once asked us to move the date. The stills look the way the flowers smell.”

Ruairi Kell Co-founder, Saltmoor

“Anselm shot our glazes by the kiln-room window instead of under a softbox. For the first time, the pictures match what people unwrap.”

Joel Ashcombe Founder, Marrow Kiln

“Forty products in two days, and each one lit as if it were the only one. The contact sheets arrived the same evening.”

Matthias Oberle Managing director, Werrin Paper

“Colour is our whole trade. His prints were the first our colour team signed off without a single note.”

Dario Wrenfield Head of colour, Ravel & Hue
