The first season in Antarctica

Unique insights: My first season as an expedition photographer in Antarctica

The transition from the majestic mountains of the Himalayas to the icy wilderness of Antarctica was a fascinating step in my photographic adventure. Shortly after my expedition in the Himalayas, my next destination took me directly to the icy south, where I worked as an expedition photographer for two months.

The trip to Antarctica was not only a unique experience, but also an educational one that will leave a lasting impression on me. I had the privilege of documenting this unique continent and our expedition in an unforgettable way. During this time, I learned a wealth of information about the region, its history and its unique wildlife from my great colleagues on the expedition team. From specialists on birds and wildlife to whale watchers and submariners, our team was broad and gave me a comprehensive perspective on Antarctica.

As an expedition photographer, I was not only able to develop my skills, but also gain new experiences. Maneuvering a Zodiac in the icy waters of Antarctica for the first time was a challenge that I will always remember.

The untouched nature, the rugged landscape and the breathtaking wildlife offered me endless opportunities for fascinating shots. It is difficult to put into words or pictures the wealth of impressions and emotions that I experienced during my time in Antarctica.

The feeling of being on a continent untouched by humans and experiencing the beauty and wildness of nature up close is an experience I will never forget. Antarctica has captured my heart and will always hold a special place in my memories. I can hardly wait to get back.
