During a recent trip to Berlin earlier this fall, Frank Ockenfels 3 collaborated with Sophie La Sage on a series of personal portraits rooted in experimentation and creative freedom. Outside the parameters of commissioned assignments, this work reflects Frank’s continued commitment to self-expression and visual exploration.
Personal projects remain an essential part of Frank’s practice, offering space to test ideas, follow instinct, and evolve his approach to portraiture. This collaboration allowed for an intuitive exchange — shaped by trust, curiosity, and a shared creative sensibility — resulting in imagery that feels open and exploratory.
For Frank, personal work is not a departure from his professional output, but a vital extension of it — a way to remain engaged, challenged, and creatively present.
