My name is Armin Mustafic, I’m 25 years old and I’m from Upper Austria. I spend most of my time in the Austrian Alps; I deeply appreciate this area, especially Flachauwinkl, Mayrhofen and Hintertux glacier are some of my favorite spots. I love hiking and freestyle snowboarding, so it’s not surprising you can often find me in the mountains. Though I love wakeboarding as well. Being outdoors, has always been a passion for me; as a kid I was always outside. It makes me feel happy, free and calm.
I got into photographing because of my snowboard colleagues. They always bring their camera to the mountains, which aroused my interest in photography. I decided to buy my own camera, a Canon 80d back then. I learned from my colleagues and I searched for information everywhere; books, videos, internet… Now I shoot with a Sony Alpha III, collaborate with different wintersport areas in Austria and have shot for two world record attempts.
Günter Schachermayr is an Austrian extreme sports athlete and he contacted me over Instagram to ask if I could capture his world record attempt. For the first one, he went paragliding with a Vespa, flying over the Wolfgangsee, a lake in Austria. He flew about 75 meters high and made two rounds around the entire lake.
Later, he called me again to shoot at another world record attempt for which he had planned to drive up the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, blinded, and with his Vespa. This was again a risky, but amazing world record attempt. I am glad I got the opportunity to capture it; since I love sports, mountains, and photography, it brought together all my passions.
Nevertheless, I enjoy photography as well when it’s not in the mountains, like doing portrait, fashion or event photography, but it’s not comparable to how I feel when I am doing landscapes. You don’t need much to get the most beautiful pictures; just your camera and a little bit of luck with the weather. And the best thing… You get to appreciate nature and everything it provides us with. You learn to see the beauty. That’s why I love to keep my photos natural as well when editing, because it’s already beautiful by itself.. I try to maximize photos by paying attention to the colors and the mood.
There are so many places that will surprise you with its beauty, nearby or far away. If I could give some tips about Austria in this regard… I’d say that Hallstatt, Loserberg, Gosausee and Schiederweiher are spots that I really enjoyed and I would recommend to others. Besides just inspiring people to go outside though, I believe it’s very important to not just enjoy the nature, but also to take care of it and appreciate it. All together we can achieve this, and be the difference for the future.
