His enthusiasm for photography was sparked by a memorable experience in New Zealand. Travelling with a modest bridge camera at the time, the Olympus Stylus S1, he was captivated by the pristine wilderness and the diversity of wildlife. Shortly afterwards, at the same time as starting university and acquiring his first digital SLR camera with telephoto and macro lenses, Jan-Henrik began to specialise in wildlife and macro photography. He is particularly fascinated by capturing seemingly everyday moments - the quiet beauty of the ordinary that often remains hidden to many others. The subjects he captures in his home country show a deep connection with nature, without the need for long journeys.

Jan-Henrik Asmus' images are characterised by an artistic approach that goes far beyond mere documentation. With exciting perspectives and creative detail shots, he manages to show the animal world in a new light. Soft light, harmonious colours and a well-considered composition, in which sharpness and blur play with each other, give his photographs a special quality. Each image becomes an atmospheric portrait of nature, bringing out the subtle beauty of even the smallest creatures.
