I was born in Austria in 1991.

I am a self taught photographer and in 2011 i started with wildlife photography.

For me wildlife photography frees my mind from the daily rush, stress and worries, i can get away from the everyday hectic and it offers a close contact with nature and gives me enough time to enjoy and photograph beautiful nature sceneries. We, humans, live in our own world, a hectic world full of distractions, mostly apart from wild animals and often forget that we share this beautiful planet with precious animals. Taking images of wild animals requires a great amount of patience and time, because you never can predict when the animal is coming near to you or if it will be around at all. I have spent countless hours sitting in my photo-hide to photograph many different wild animal species and one thing that I’ve learned over the years is: Be patient and do not chase the animals, let them come to you. That is exactly why nature photography is so challenging, you need empathy knowledge of species, endurance and a pinch of luck.
