I have always loved travelling and get to know new places, as do many of you. At the beginning, I only took pictures to document these journeys and to make memories. It all changed dramatically when I quit my first real job that I got right after high school. I didn’t like it at all, though neither I knew what I really wanted. I saw the solution in traveling. I thought traveling would help me to find myself and my biggest desires – and it did.
Photography for me still means creating and documenting memories, that hasn’t ́t really changed, but photography has now become one of my biggest hobbies, my job and above all, a lifestyle that I choose to live. A lifestyle that taught me to enjoy and appreciate the moment, even if it ́s just a short walk through the forest nearby.
I was in Norway when I met a bunch of other motivated photographers. They soon became friends and we went camping on a beautiful beach. We walked up the mountain during the night and the midnight sun was simply magical. We could watch the sunset/sunrise all night and had the best conditions ever. I will never forget this day. To capture this picture I needed to bring the exposure up since it was night, I really wanted to get the most out of this picture, as with any other.
That is my main goal when editing, that I personally feel the picture. I live so many beautiful moments and I am grateful for that. For example my stay in New Zealand, where I studied for one semester and got to know amazing people. One day we went up a mountain during the night and it was cloudy and foggy. After a 4-hour hike we finally reached the top and the sun came through – we had a clear view to the volcano named Mt Taranaki. I will never forget this moment. Good friends and an epic sunrise – the best combination you can ever have as a photographer.
