A beautiful late-day moment in a Dutch forest.
I was there all by myself and thoroughly enjoyed the calmness and beauty of the place.

A postcard moment during the Spain workshop some weeks ago. What a place!

A little iPhone shot from my current workshop at ‘Horizonte’-Festival at Zingst, Germany. A great group of photo enthusiasts I have here. Wonderful!

Tomorrow I will be presenting ‘inspiration is everything’. Really looking forward to it.

A touch of colour in the trees. Sometimes a few meters high is high enough for a drone.

Spring is a special time to photograph. Those vibrant greens are really something.

Here is a new one from my recent tour of Northern Spain. This location is a photographer´s dream.

I am considering doing another tour next year. If you'd like to come, make sure to sign up for my newsletter, as that's where I announce new tours and events first.

A short ‘hello‘ from my current photo workshop in the North of Spain.

We are having a fantastic tour so far. Visiting stunning places at Basque Country, Asturias and today even Galicia.

The image features my local co-guide and friend Aritz Atela posing for this quick phone Test shot.

It can hardly get any more dramatic than in this scene.
Wave action? Check.
Waterfall backwards? Check.
Ruins of the past? Check.

What destination would you prefer to photograph in August (the only time available for me):

Senja/Lyngen Alps
or Southwest England and Wales?

Feels like forever ago. One fine morning in the very East of Germany, back in 2018.

Sometimes it is crazy what you get to see when being outside. For example, how the weather changes over the far away ocean.

I just released a new blog article. Why it takes me so long to release new images weeks, months or even years after taking them.
