During my frequent traveling, I have witnessed way too many destructive changes in formerly pristine and natural habitats, driven either by the expansion of human settlements or simply by human greed.
The weakest ones always had to pay the price. And those weakest ones have always been the animals, which used to own and roam their land in their daily fight for survival.
However, they do not have rich funding, cannot pay an army of lawyers and their natural rights for their fair share are purposely ignored. As a result, their land has been taken and our biodiversity is shrinking … more and more.
End of 2021, I have retreated from working in a management position at an international chemical group in order to build on my decades-old wildlife and photography passion and contribute to make a difference.
My passion today is conservation wildlife photography. And although my focus is on photographing predators facing their ever shrinking natural habitat, I do – once granted the opportunity – as well cover other threatened wild animals in or close to their natural habitats.
My ultimate goal is using my conservation photography work to help and support endangered predators by providing them with the spacious hunting ground they need, in order to have a fair chance in a world, overcrowded and dominated by human beings.
Since a couple of weeks, I have a four-legged travel companion, Norris, a young black Giant Schnauzer, who will be accompanying me on my tours and also will be with me on the various shooting locations. Behavioral training for those challenges has already started and he is enjoying it 😉
