René Schildt
the photographer
Photography chose me at the age of six, when I first held an analog point-and-shoot camera. What began as a child’s curiosity evolved into a lifelong passion—honed by formal training at the New York Institute of Photography (NYIP) and years of framing the world through my lens.
From the neon pulse of Shanghai to the stoic elegance of New York, I’ve chased light across cities I’ve called home (and those I’ve passed through). My toolkit grew from a Minolta Dimage 7 to Canon’s EOS series, and now the portable power of the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III—each upgrade a new chapter in seeing.
But the real education came from the road: 35+ countries, from Oman’s dunes to Norway’s fjords, Marrakech’s souks to Hawaii’s shores. Every place rewired my perspective—whether through Hong Kong’s kinetic energy or the stillness of a Swiss alpine dawn.
Photography, for me, is equal parts craft and intuition. Let’s create something unforgettable.
Beyond the lens, I help businesses thrive through:
• AI & IT consultancy that delivers real solutions
• Strategic business and startup development
• Full-spectrum digital services - from web development to social media strategy
• Branding that makes an impact
