Please let me
introduce myself...
I was born in 1967 at the Bodensee in Southern Germany. Since 1984 I live in the Netherlands near Eindhoven.
Nature Photography
At that time I also started making photographs. Initially mainly horses
( my great passion). Only much later I took my camera with me into nature.
However, I also felt attracted to other branches of photography. As a result, apart from my regular job in graphical design, I took a full course in becoming a professional photographer at the Photographic School in Apeldoorn.
I am a member of the Nature Photography Society Eindhoven (VNFE), the Dutch "Natuurfotografengilde" (NFG) and the German "Gesellschaft Deutscher Tierfotografen" (GDT).

Self-thaught
Drawing and painting has always been my favourite hobby. Always trying something new, a different technique, a new style, ... At first just horses and dogs. Later on I started painting people, stills and landscapes. I always look forward to something new. |
