I am always happy to see that people have a look at what I have been able to capture. By doing some research before posting, I try to give a bit more information about what there is to see. I hope it pleases you all. That is also the reason why I am running a bit behind in my photo processing. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

I have recently started to post some of my photos on Shutterstock and Getty, so if you are interested you can buy the ones you like on there.

I started with photography around 2009. Mostly underwater, though, because I was mesmerized with the diversity of creatures down there. I especially grew attached to the small stuff because they are so easily overlooked.

Given that photography under water is an entirely different approach than the "dry" photography, I took a short course to learn the basics. I am slowly adapting to taking pictures of nature and buildings. I am mostly interested in taking photos in nature, because it is an environment you cannot control, completely depending on the moment, working with what is there.

All my photos are copyrighted and cannot be used without my permission.
