A little gap in the Storm clouds
about me
Have you ever heard the awesome sound of a roaring waterfall ... or have you enjoyed the relaxing silence up on a mountain peak in the early morning while you were watching the little world below you?
I'm a passionate nature photographer based in the heart of Europe, photographing in the stunning landscapes of Austria and the surrounding countries like Slovenia and Italy. Although working full-time in an office, I take every chance to escape into nature, particularly drawn to photographing waterfalls and capturing the serene beauty of mountain peaks at sunrise.
When not behind the camera or at the office, I enjoy hiking ... the camera is most times with me though ;) Through my photography, I try to inspire others to appreciate and protect the breathtaking beauty of Mother Nature.
I wished I could write here that I am a professional Nature Photographer, who is every day able to experience the beauty that Mother Nature offers us, but unfortunately I am not.
So, I am only a happy hobby photographer with a full time job, who tries to get out and enjoy nature whenever possible, and of course, my camera is always with me.
Nature ... waterfalls and mountains, the silence in a forest or sunrises at a lake ... I love it and sometimes I can take a photo that is able to show the awesome and peaceful time I have out there, no matter the weather.
I think I don't have a preferred kind of photo motif ... maybe waterfalls would be on top of the list, if I had a list.
I’m a proud member of Nature First: The Alliance for Responsible Nature Photography and I’m dedicated to following the Nature First Principles:
