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.
"You will become part of the society, you will learn the language and culture, and you will find long lasting friendships."
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.
"For about a year I lived, worked and studied in a new country again. So with this trip, my passion for photography really started."
"After that year, I headed back to Germany, but not without having planned my new move: I left to the Dolomites."
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.
"The achievement of summiting a mountain and enjoying the view is hard to put into words. You have to experience it yourself."
"My passion for the outdoors and photography had grown over the years and as many photographers, I was dreaming about turning my passion into a career."
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.
"Then I know that I fulfilled my goal: To capture special moments and create memories for a lifetime."
