Prensena is well-known for his daring aerial photography, stopping at nothing to capture the most breathtaking beaches and landscapes around the world.

His tactics are matched only by his attention to detail, quality and precision. Evoking emotion and transporting the senses, Prensena’s meditative works are produced using the most innovative camera technology to achieve exceptional detail and vivid color, immersing the viewer in awe-inspiring international locales, from the sun-drenched beaches of Cape Town, South Africa, to the frigid backcountry of Whistler, Canada.
Raised in Germany and of South Korean descent, Prensena has been living and working in Los Angeles for the last 28 years. Previously a top Hollywood handler, the artist began taking pictures while on location around the world and turned his passion for photography into his occupation.
