Tom Hegen Instagram - On this project, I worked with a flashlight mounted on a drone to illuminate the scene from above.

These trees are on top of a very exposed hill. During the winter season, they are completely covered in snow and ice. I wanted to show the mystic landscape in a unique light and experimented with a remote light source that was attached to a drone where I could take full control of the scene.

Tom Hegen Instagram - It’s been a bit quite here for the moment…

I‘m in the midst of renovating and building my house and really enjoy the change in work to my photography.

But also planning and preparing new projects. More about that soon…

For the moment some old but gold images from The Quarry Series, which is about extraction of stones and sand. Actually fits to what I’m doing right now.

Tom Hegen Instagram - Aerial views of Glacier structures in Greenland.

Glaciers creep their way across vast regions, spreading their hefty mass of hundreds of years of compacted snow and ice down the land. 

Approximately 10 % of the Earth is covered by glaciers. Glacier ice is the largest reservoir of fresh water on the planet, storing an estimated 75 % of the world’s supply.

Tom Hegen Instagram - Today, I am releasing the second part of THE GOLD MINING SERIES and in a completely new approach!

Last year, I travelled to Borneo to document the effects of illegal gold mining on the environment of this fragile ecosystem. For that project, I used color infrared photography to capture an extended range of wavelengths that clearly separates vegetation from other elements. 

In that way, the images reveal the impact of the mining operations in contrast to natural elements.

Tom Hegen Instagram - New Series release – The Spanish Farmland Series II 

In this aerial series, I explore the stunning landscape of agricultural fields in central Spain. Over centuries, Spanish farmers transformed the landscape into a patchwork of abstract art. They adapted to the rugged topography by carving tracks, fields and plantations into the terrain. 

Even though the soil is quite fertile, cultivating the fields is challenging due to increasingly low rainfall and extreme heat. For that reason, the fields are organized in terraces to prevent rainwater from flowing off. Some fields are still cultivated, while others have been abandoned due to excessive labour and low yields.

Seen from the air, the landscape resembles a subtle arrangement of blood cells, ordered into a patterned carpet covering the surface. 

I’m interested in finding the most abstract forms of human-altered landscapes—places where the transition from photography to painterly images is fluid. However, farmers on the ground are the actual designers of the images, supposedly with an economic rather than an artistic intention. I see myself as the observer, curating their work into artworks with a subtle eye.

Tom Hegen Instagram - We bought a house from the 1950s and am renovating it, so it’s a bit quieter here at the moment.

Two years ago, we bought an old house in southern Germany. Since that, we have made plans how to transform it into a modern and energy-efficient home. We removed the old oil heating system for a heat pump, improved the insolation, installed new and better windows and modified the room structure. 

We also expanded the house made in solid timber and are about to install a 12 kWp integrated solar roof. 

For the past months, I have been heavily involved in the process and doing myself whatever I can do. I learned a lot about architecture, construction, plumbing, solar panels, battery storage, electricity, and all sorts of other things that are needed when tackling such projects. 

I also have to admire that I really enjoy the process of using my hands to create something that is not two-dimensional. But hey, still working in my studio, editing aerial images and planning new projects!

Tom Hegen Instagram - Seeing a tree from above is a somewhat unfamiliar view.

Seeing winter trees from above against a snowy backdrop is a delight to the eye.

How the tree unfolds its crown and carefully grows the individual branches so that they do not interfere with each other. On the white background, they almost look like complex pencil drawings by artists like Albrecht Dürer.

The rolling hills of the Palouse region, an area of the American northwest that spans over 3,000 miles. Endless green fields fill every inch of these frames. 

At a quick glance, the landscape looks likes the folds of moss-coloured fabric, but, on closer inspection, subtle whorls left by tractor trails reveal that humans have cultivated the land. The fertile soil is a result of ancient volcanic activity and erosion over thousands of years.

Tom Hegen Instagram - 22.511,33 EUR is the amount I just donated to protect the rainforests in Borneo.

In December last year, I established my own foundation with @mybcause . For the launch, I donated 50% of print sales from my Gold Mining Series, photographed in Borneo, Indonesia, to the organisation Chanceforchange e.V. (www.chanceforchange.online), which protects the local rainforests.

With the help of collectors and very generous supporters, we raised 22.511,33 EUR that will be invested in environmental protection, education and development of the local communities. 

I’m more than happy that my photographs not only create awareness of how we interfere with nature but also contribute to saving precious places.

Now, I’m thinking about how to extend the initiative to have even more impact. Thank you to everyone who supported the campaign!

These trees are on top of a very exposed hill. During the winter season, they are completely covered in snow and ice. I wanted to show the mystic landscape in a unique light and experimented with a remote light source that was attached to a drone where I could take full control of the scene.

During the winter season, they are completely covered in snow and ice. I wanted to show the mystic landscape in a unique light and experimented with a remote light source that was attached to a drone where I could take full control of the scene.

Tom Hegen - 1.4K Likes - It’s been a bit quite here for the moment…

I‘m in the midst of renovating and building my house and really enjoy the change in work to my photography.

But also planning and preparing new projects. More about that soon…

For the moment some old but gold images from The Quarry Series, which is about extraction of stones and sand. Actually fits to what I’m doing right now.

Glaciers creep their way across vast regions, spreading their hefty mass of hundreds of years of compacted snow and ice down the land. 

Approximately 10 % of the Earth is covered by glaciers. Glacier ice is the largest reservoir of fresh water on the planet, storing an estimated 75 % of the world’s supply.

Tom Hegen - 1.4K Likes - Today, I am releasing the second part of THE GOLD MINING SERIES and in a completely new approach!

Last year, I travelled to Borneo to document the effects of illegal gold mining on the environment of this fragile ecosystem. For that project, I used color infrared photography to capture an extended range of wavelengths that clearly separates vegetation from other elements. 

In that way, the images reveal the impact of the mining operations in contrast to natural elements.

Tom Hegen - 858 Likes - New Series release – The Spanish Farmland Series II 

In this aerial series, I explore the stunning landscape of agricultural fields in central Spain. Over centuries, Spanish farmers transformed the landscape into a patchwork of abstract art. They adapted to the rugged topography by carving tracks, fields and plantations into the terrain. 

Even though the soil is quite fertile, cultivating the fields is challenging due to increasingly low rainfall and extreme heat. For that reason, the fields are organized in terraces to prevent rainwater from flowing off. Some fields are still cultivated, while others have been abandoned due to excessive labour and low yields.

Seen from the air, the landscape resembles a subtle arrangement of blood cells, ordered into a patterned carpet covering the surface. 

I’m interested in finding the most abstract forms of human-altered landscapes—places where the transition from photography to painterly images is fluid. However, farmers on the ground are the actual designers of the images, supposedly with an economic rather than an artistic intention. I see myself as the observer, curating their work into artworks with a subtle eye.

Even though the soil is quite fertile, cultivating the fields is challenging due to increasingly low rainfall and extreme heat. For that reason, the fields are organized in terraces to prevent rainwater from flowing off. Some fields are still cultivated, while others have been abandoned due to excessive labour and low yields. Seen from the air, the landscape resembles a subtle arrangement of blood cells, ordered into a patterned carpet covering the surface. I’m interested in finding the most abstract forms of human-altered landscapes—places where the transition from photography to painterly images is fluid. However, farmers on the ground are the actual designers of the images, supposedly with an economic rather than an artistic intention. I see myself as the observer, curating their work into artworks with a subtle eye.

Tom Hegen - 852 Likes - We bought a house from the 1950s and am renovating it, so it’s a bit quieter here at the moment.

Two years ago, we bought an old house in southern Germany. Since that, we have made plans how to transform it into a modern and energy-efficient home. We removed the old oil heating system for a heat pump, improved the insolation, installed new and better windows and modified the room structure. 

We also expanded the house made in solid timber and are about to install a 12 kWp integrated solar roof. 

For the past months, I have been heavily involved in the process and doing myself whatever I can do. I learned a lot about architecture, construction, plumbing, solar panels, battery storage, electricity, and all sorts of other things that are needed when tackling such projects. 

I also have to admire that I really enjoy the process of using my hands to create something that is not two-dimensional. But hey, still working in my studio, editing aerial images and planning new projects!

Seeing winter trees from above against a snowy backdrop is a delight to the eye.

How the tree unfolds its crown and carefully grows the individual branches so that they do not interfere with each other. On the white background, they almost look like complex pencil drawings by artists like Albrecht Dürer.

The rolling hills of the Palouse region, an area of the American northwest that spans over 3,000 miles. Endless green fields fill every inch of these frames. 

At a quick glance, the landscape looks likes the folds of moss-coloured fabric, but, on closer inspection, subtle whorls left by tractor trails reveal that humans have cultivated the land. The fertile soil is a result of ancient volcanic activity and erosion over thousands of years.

Tom Hegen - 735 Likes - 22.511,33 EUR is the amount I just donated to protect the rainforests in Borneo.

In December last year, I established my own foundation with @mybcause . For the launch, I donated 50% of print sales from my Gold Mining Series, photographed in Borneo, Indonesia, to the organisation Chanceforchange e.V. (www.chanceforchange.online), which protects the local rainforests.

With the help of collectors and very generous supporters, we raised 22.511,33 EUR that will be invested in environmental protection, education and development of the local communities. 

I’m more than happy that my photographs not only create awareness of how we interfere with nature but also contribute to saving precious places.

Now, I’m thinking about how to extend the initiative to have even more impact. Thank you to everyone who supported the campaign!
