Sparrow

A House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) starting from a hedge in winter. Snow and ice on the hedge and the light background underline the wintry mood. I took this Photo at our neighbours hedge in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria, Germany in March 2021. Yes it was still winter here in March and sometimes, you don`t have to go far away to get some cool wildlife shots.

Since I was eleven years old, when I received my first camera, I was indulged in photography. Even back then, animals have been my favourite subjects. I grew up with anlogue photography and I filled many colour films in the Zoo.

Zoological gardens make a big contribution to conservation and education. Beside animal- and enclosure photography for Zoos, wildlife photography is my passion and my personal way to contribute to conservation.​

My love for nature was leading me to Innsbruck, Austria, in 2011, where I studied biology for four terms, beneath my work in the Bavarian casino in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. In the following years I educated myself further with correspondence courses for tourism management and journalism.​

On diverse trips through Europe, Asia and Africa I could promote
my photographical skills and develop my own style.
Because in photography you never stop learning and development is an ongoing process, I am always looking forward for new tasks and challenges.
