Projects - Stories from the wilderness
In my long-term photography projects, I follow animals, habitats and topics over many years — with patience, respect and a deep closeness to nature. Each project tells its own story: quiet, honest and sometimes uncomfortable.

In the shadow of the forest - on the trail of the lynx
My lynx project in the Bavarian Forest uses camera traps to document the lives of these elusive tufted ears. For more than a decade, it has been offering insights into the behaviour of the Eurasian lynx — nature photography and active species conservation in one.

When the Sun Doesn’t Sleep – The Wilderness of Scandinavia
In the endless days of the Nordic summer, I explore the wilderness of Scandinavia. Between the midnight sun and silent forests, I encounter moose, musk oxen, and other wildlife — moments that are only possible where the sun doesn't sleep.

Life in Hiding – Amphibians & Reptiles on Our Doorstep
21 amphibian and 15 reptile species live in Germany, many of them endangered. A project about fire salamanders, grass snakes and sand lizards — and about how fascinating this hidden life is, and how important its preservation is for our biodiversity.

Photo project · Bavaria · since 2012
Bavaria’s Native Inhabitants – Small, wild and forgotten
Tiger beetles, hazel dormice, moor frogs, midwife toads and stag beetles — small, often overlooked creatures that have been part of our natural world for millennia. A photographic portrait of those species that make our home what it is.

Wildlife photography is not about the perfect shot — it's about telling a story worth protecting.
