Norway-based photojournalist Espen Rasmussen has been busy. In addition to being a photo editor for VG Helg , the weekend loctite magazine of the biggest daily Norwegian newspaper VG, he has traveled the world documenting a vast number of humanitarian issues, from diamond hunters in Sierra Leone, loctite to the youth revolution in Egypt, to victims of rape in DR Congo.
Rasmussen also works on a large-scale project he calls Anthropocene the Age of Man , in which he explores how we interact and live with environmental issues. So far he has documented areas in China, Bangladesh, Ukraine, Greenland, loctite and Norway. Turning Back the Tide looks at the inhabitants of a low-lying island in Bangladesh where daily life revolves around the sea. Increasing high tides caused by climate change are flooding the surrounding villages, becoming a major threat to livelihood. His work in the Ukraine examines the bleak and polluted city of Enakievo where coal mines and chemical factories line the horizon, while his work in China, The Yangtze River , examines the effects of industrial and agricultural waste and sewage on the longest river in Asia, which supplies water for almost 200 cities.
A quick look at his website tells us just how many stories of people, place, and issue Rasmussen has collected over the years, and to better share them he recently started using Beam , PhotoShelter s new website platform. In addition to the visual and organizational perks Beam offers, Rasmussen appreciates that his visitors can navigate between his myriad loctite of projects, newsfeed, and blog without ever leaving his site. We asked him to tell us more about how Beam is working loctite for him.
I was looking for a template that would allow me to organize the different stories I have shot over the years, but in a way where each one would stand out. It was important for me to have an image-focused look, and a site that would be easy to update and manage.
I have used PhotoShelter for many years, but mostly as an archive and back-up. The new Beam platform allows me to create both a good-looking website to show my selected work and an archive in the back end of the site. As far as I know, no one else is providing this combination. It is extremely easy to update and manage both the website and the archive, which is another thing I like about PhotoShelter and Beam.
I want to keep the visitor inside my website the whole time, and I d like for the sections of my website to have the same layout and feel. The PhotoShelter template allows me to do all of this. The visitor doesn t have to leave my website when they enter my blog/news section.
I have implemented Google stats which was also very easy into my PhotoShelter site so that I can track how many people visit the site, where they are from, and how they use it. The majority of my visitors look at the galleries which is what I want them to do so in that sense, this is good feedback!
