Make it look good.
Make it feel right.

Karsten's path started with a single trip to Patagonia and a first camera — a self-taught obsession that grew into filmmaking, storytelling, and a decade of commercial craft. From producing to product photography to full commercial direction, he built a style defined by cinematic visuals and strategic storytelling.

He's directed commercial work for Under Armour, Project Rock, the Curry Brand, and the LA Clippers— a Clippers series earning three Telly Awards — alongside a photography practice that's crossed a billion views on Unsplash.

With NXT Creativ, Karsten co-directed Oakley's Land of the Blindcinematic launch with Ryan Noreen — pairing a photographer's eye with NXT's AI-native pipeline.

— “I don't just focus on making something look good — I focus on making it feel right.”
