Available for difficult, dangerous, or unusual assignments in remote corners of the world.

Leif spent 20 years as a creative director in the advertising industry. In between 90-hour weeks, he hitchhiked the Pakistan/Afghanistan border, traveled across the Sahara with the Bedouin, spent time in a Mexican jail, and once ended up in a Colombian cocaine factory. More importantly — He developed a deep respect and admiration for diverse cultures and divergent ways of thinking.

In 2018, he sold his company and most of his possessions in order to pursue a personal project — photographing and interviewing traditional cultures around the world still living in accordance with their ancestral customs.

Currently living in Mallorca and Colorado. Strong preference for working with nice people.
