Scientific Imaging by Phase One reposted this
This year marks a special milestone for Phase One, celebrating 30 years. It’s also a celebration for Poul Husum, who has been a part of the Phase One team since the very beginning. With three decades of dedication and passion for photography, Poul has helped shape the journey of Phase One and continues to inspire us with his commitment. Today, we get to know a bit more about Poul and his experiences over these remarkable 30 years. Poul, what was it that made you join Phase One, and what has kept you motivated to stay for 30 years? I joined Phase One due to the fact it was a start-up company, a young company with new technology in photography, which is my passion. I got the opportunity to start and shape the Service and Support department from scratch which later motivated me to move on to a sales role at Phase One. I am motivated by the entrepreneurial mindset and spirit, but the most important for me is to always choose the right solution to help our customers and support our partners. What’s one of the most memorable moments you’ve experienced while working at Phase One? The problem is there is not only one! There have been so many incredible moments over the years, for example when we first launched the first single-shot camera, the "LightPhase." It was incredible to see people's reactions when they could view the picture on the screen immediately after pressing the shutter button. Another highlight has been the countless fun and memorable experiences with our loyal users and partners. But perhaps one of the most rewarding aspects has been working with colleagues who have become some of my closest and best friends. These moments and relationships have made the journey truly unforgettable, and I wouldn’t want to miss them for anything! How have you seen the industry and technology evolve since you started? It’s been an incredible journey and it’s not often, that you have the possibility to be a part of an industry where you are the first mover. Phase One changed the photography world by transitioning from film to digital, while maintaining delivering the highest quality. Guided by the belief that the true artistry lies in the hands of the person behind the camera! And now we are also involved in digitization the world heritage which is one of the reasons I continue to be with the company. The opportunity to work with new technology and explore new industries keeps me motivated. After three decades with Phase One, how do you like to spend your free time outside of work? That has changed over the years from skydiving, extreme skiing to more “safe” travel around the world. These days, I enjoy skiing with my family, playing padel, and attending the Danish music festival "SMUKFEST," which I’ve been going to even longer than I’ve been with Phase One. #PhaseOne #career #30YearsPhaseOne #30YearsOfUnparalleledImageQuality
April 18th 2010, somewhere between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Poul Husum and I were having some tea on a slow sleeper train. That was after the beers and before the vodka, not sure about the order 🤔 The type of memories that follows you wherever you go and wherever your career takes you 😎
Dear Poul, trouly inspiring to work with you and sense your passion, it is not only the job, it is not the routines - it is about you feeling right where you are 👍🏻 you are there, in the spot. No doubt that the products of Phase One are cutting edge and in the top of the market and you are in there 100%. Congrats with 30 years at Phase One. A big congrats to the rest of the Phase One team. Cheers, Marc
Congratulations Phase One and Poul Husum ! Thanks for mentioning the LightPhase — what a game changing product, that I sold as a Phase One dealer, and helped lead me further into digital photography as my career. I later spent a brief period at Phase One 2011-2012 when another amazing product, the IQ Series, launched. I’ve spent the last 12 years focused on studio workflows built around Capture One - so many Phase One innovations are the foundation of modern studio process!
I think I can say I’ve known you the longest at Phase One! It’s been a privilege and I have enjoyed having you as a colleague; but mostly, as a friend. Many memorable and good times, especially the “Phase One Parties.!”Congratulations on your milestone and look forward to more years to come!
Congratulations Poul on 30 years with Phase One! It has been an incredible honour to work beside you for those same years, although my start was outside Phase One but still involved with selling the same products. The greatest honour is to count you among my close friends. Let’s raise a glass to the next 30!!
An incredible journey Poul, I still follow Phase One's journey now, from selling Lightphase all those years ago in Edinburgh, to admiring the quality of, quite simply put, the best digital cameras out there in the market.
Congratulations & nice shots !
Congrats! All the best 🎉
