About the photographer

My job lets me combine my two passions : Animals and Photography. Your main point of interest will probably be my photos, but here’s some more personal info if you’re interested.

Formal Qualifications:
BSc Hons in Biological Sciences, specialising in Environmental Biology and Animal Behaviour.
MSc in Biological Photography and Imaging with Distinction.

How did I get into animal photography? As a child my pets included everything from mice to ponies and I was simply fascinated by the variety and beauty of the natural world. At age 14 I worked at Frankfurt Zoo during my school holidays. That‘s when I started photographing seriously and since then I never stopped.

Career beginnings: After school in Germany and England I studied in England and Finland. My studies took me to several interesting places around the world. In Guatemala I looked after wildlife that had been taken away from smugglers. I spent a summer camping at a beach on Crete to study sea turtles and in Kenya I produced information materials for visitors and school children at “Lake Bogoria National Reserve”. After such incredible experiences, I knew I wanted to work as a professional photographer.

Nowadays: Now I have achieved my dream and have been working worldwide as a photographer for the media, advertising, charities and private clients since 2006. Although I enjoy photographing any kind of animal, dogs and horses are my speciality and I have photographed them in countries as far apart as Abu Dhabi, Vietnam, Australia and Iceland. As an animal photographer I see the beauty in every animal and would like to show their individual personality with the images I produce. It is my aim to produce aesthetic and touching images.
