My passion for traveling developed during my studies: I could choose to study abroad for half a year or to do an internship somewhere in Germany. I decided to study in Sweden. I fell in love with this way of traveling: Living and working for a longer period in a different country. The experience is completely different if you stay longer than just for two weeks or so.
When I finished my studies, I went to the UK to work for a conservation organisation for a year. It was there, that I found my passion for the outdoors. Almost every weekend I went on hikes in the Lake District National Park. I have always wanted to capture my travels and adventures, creating memories and at this point I only had a small point and shoot camera. I bought my first mirrorless camera before going on my next adventure: Moving to Norway.
Finally I was back in the mountains and the Dolomites were the perfect place to improve my photography skills. I was reading books and watching tutorials very often to understand everything about photography, and of course I was going out a lot to practice. After a year in the Dolomites though, I felt this urge to move again, exploring a new place. So, I moved to Austria. I already live here for two years now and I think I found my place: I can imagine staying for longer. I love exploring the mountains of the Alps. Here I feel free and it is the perfect place to calm down.
So I decided to make my dream come true: In 2018 I started my own business and now I am working as a photographer and social media expert. I accompany expeditions and adventure travels as a photographer. It brings together both my passions so even though it’s for real, it’s still a dream actually.
These expeditions are a great way of getting feedback. Social media is useful to show your work to a big audience and getting comments, but it’s not as satisfying as seeing and hearing other’s reactions directly. When I accompany expeditions as a photographer, I often show the photos I took after an adventurous day, just at the screen of my camera. The sparkling eyes, smiles and warm words of the people are the most rewarding feedback you can get.
