FotoKnoff is a Norwegian production company specialising in high-end cinematography, photography and visual storytelling. Founded by filmmaker and photographer Sven-Erik Knoff, the company works across the intersection of nature, culture, architecture and refined hospitality. Our work supports luxury travel brands, tour operators and experience creators who require elevated visuals and premium-level product development for discerning travellers.

Professional Background

Sven-Erik Knoff brings a rare multidimensional expertise to his work as a filmmaker and photographer. Before establishing himself professionally in the visual arts in 2014, he spent sixteen years as a chef in the ultra-luxury hospitality sector, followed by four years in the wine import industry. This background offers deep insight into taste, craftsmanship and premium guest experiences — all of which shape his cinematic sensibility and visual precision.

His production credits include contributions to BBC’s “Martin Compston’s Norwegian Fling”, Apple TV+’s “Long Way Home” with Ewan McGregor, and other selected international TV and cinema projects. He has also recently worked on a British feature film as both drone operator and set photographer, bringing aerial and on-set expertise to high-demand production environments. His work has received multiple international awards for film and photography, and he serves as a recurring Grand Jury member of the New York Festivals TV & Film Awards.

FotoKnoff’s mission is clear: to create visual experiences that do more than capture Norway’s landscapes — they interpret them with cinematic depth, sensory richness and the refined attention to detail expected in the global luxury market.
