ESKE WILLERSLEV COVER SHOOT

This commission by Danish magazine, Magisterbladet, was to shoot cover portraits of super-star DNA scientist, Eske Willerslev.  Originally from Copenhagen, he’s part of St John’s college and the department of zoology at the University of Cambridge.  He is also a member of The Adventurers’ Club and has led expeditions to Siberia and Greenland.  St John’s college provided a fairly epic backdrop to this location portrait session shot on a cold November Sunday.
