„My great passion of nature photography started underwater and only later I developed the same passion outside the water. 

Since many years I dedicate my great passion to the local nature of South-Tyrol/Dolomites, with the main focus on wildlife- and landscape-photography.

In my works I want to present the nature in its inviolacy and as much as possible aesthetic and artful. I have got a deep relation with my local nature and often I dedicate to a theme many hours, days, months and even years.

The peace and loneliness I find outside in nature opens to me another world. This world is only dominated by the rhythm of the weather and seasons where I can escape daily hustle and find my interior balance and happiness.“
