I am a hobby wildlife photographer based in the small town of Jena in East Germany. Since embarking on my photographic journey in 2017, my passion for wildlife photography has steadily honed my focus on creating images with a distinctive artistic bent. Over the years, this evolving focus has led to a style that gravitates towards a holistic portrayal, encapsulating not just the subject but also the environment it thrives in. This approach, I believe, extends the narrative of each photograph and delivers a more comprehensive story.
To enchance my photographic style, my objective with every shoot is to create large prints, and this intent significantly influences my choice of composition. Every frame is meticulously composed to ensure it lends itself well to a larger format and its accompanying visual impact.
Given this aspiration to produce large prints, a significant aspect of my photography is the emphasis on technical excellence. I abstain from cropping my photos post-shoot to retain the original frame and work diligently to achieve the best possible sharpness in each image.
Rooted in the same conscientious approach, ethical considerations form a crucial part of my photography ethos. I make a conscious effort to minimize any disturbance to the wildlife I am capturing. Thankfully my environmental picture style allows me to maintain a respectful distance from the subjects, securing quality images without the need to intrude into their natural spaces.
