Career

In the early 2010s, Microsoft contacted Strohl; a college student at the time, about licensing a photo he took of his girlfriend, which he had posted on Flickr, featuring his girlfriend falling backward into a pool and was later used in an international marketing campaign.[5]

Strohl is known for his landscape photography, particularly his photo series entitled "Highlands of Iceland." Strohl's work captures the landscape of various corners of the world, including Iceland's black sand beaches, glacier-cut fjords, and jagged mountains and cliffs.[10] In 2018, he captured an image of a surfer riding waves surrounded by snow and ice in Alberta, Canada.[5] His style draws inspiration from the wildest alpine environments, blurring the lines between humans and nature to create visual experience.[11]

In 2023, Strohl was added to Canon's Explorer of Light program as a mentor to educate visual artists. [12]

Achievements

His work has been recognized by notable publications such as National Geographic, Outside Magazine, and Gentlemen's Journal.[13] He has been associated as marketing campaigner and photographer for Apple, Google, Land Rover and Arc'teryx.[14]
