About Me

"Photography for me is the art of telling a story with my images and capturing precious moments and emotions"
Photography has captured my heart and ignited my passion. With each shot, I feel alive because it allows me to capture moments and tell stories. The fascination for photography has accompanied me professionally for 17 years now and has led me to look at the world through the lens. The play of light and shadow, the magic of the moment – all this has inspired me to always evolve and share my vision with others. Each picture is a unique opportunity to evoke emotions and capture great moments.
Excerpt of my last projects
Outdoor/ Mountains
Projects
From the very beginning of my photographic career, I was always drawn out into nature and landscapes were always a big part of my work. Whether it was incorporating people into nature or various photographic projects from Yosemite National Park to the Scottish Highlands or even various outdoor photography workshops with associated hiking trips that I have led.
In the meantime, I combine my projects with sporting challenges of the mountain worlds. 2023 was a very challenging year with exciting projects.
- Ascent of more than 25 mountains over 4000 meters
- Extension Course High Altitude Tours in Austria - July 2023
- Ascent Mont Blanc 4807 meters - July/August 2023
- and many more great alpine tours (see below)
- Realization of a trekking trip in Nepal with a social project/support of a local school:
To the project - Expedition photographer in the Antarctic
Outdoor experience
Guiding
I have worked as a photographer on hiking adventures in Germany and given workshops in nature, light painting and night photography.
In my current home, the Swiss Alps, I have led several winter and summer tours for private clients.
Expeditions Training
A professional expedition training in the Monte Rosa massif including crevasse rescue at high altitude and the ascent of some of the 4.000m peaks with
Furtenbach Adventures
.
Of course, the camera was not missing here either.
Avalanche course
Taught by IFMGA guides from the Mountaineering Schoolwho will be present during the
Backcountry weeks in the Engadine, where I learned a lot about avalanche hazards and rescue.
Crevasse rescue course
Safety in the mountain always has the highest priority. Unfortunately, not all dangers are always obvious or influenceable. Therefore, preparation plays a major role and to expand my knowledge, I took part in a specially designed crevasse rescue course in Austria and expanded and trained my knowledge extensively in the summer of 2023.
SBF Sea
Not only the mountain world is fascinating. For upcoming projects, I have decided in the summer of 2023 to take the Sportbootführerschein See at the
Hemmenhofen sailing school
to complete it. This was followed by a sailing trip in beautiful Italy and I was then able to gain my first experience as a Zodiac driver for two months in Antarctica at the end of 2023.
