Nature has fascinated me since early childhood. Growing up in Austria, I spent much of my time outdoors, exploring forests and observing wildlife. This passion led me to study zoology at the University of Vienna, with a specialization in Wildlife Ecology and Management.
My scientific background shapes my photography. It allows me to approach wildlife with both ecological understanding and a strong visual focus. I aim to show not only the beauty of nature, but also its complexity and fragility.
As a professional nature photographer, I collaborate with conservation initiatives, including a LIFE project on riparian forest restoration, as well as with sustainability-driven businesses such as eco-conscious hotels and nature-based enterprises. My work has received international awards, been exhibited nationally and internationally, and I have served as a jury member for several nature photography competitions. I am also the author of a tutorial book on nature photography.
Through my images, whether for exhibitions, conservation projects or workshops, I aim to create work that resonates and inspires a deeper appreciation of the natural world.
