MY camera GEAR

It all began with an old Nikon D50 camera from my aunt. With it came some lenses and a bag, my first camera gear. After more than ten years, some ten thousand pictures and endless testing later, I am happy with my photography gear. Since that moment, I stayed with Nikon and never had any doubt of changing.

After years of over-water photography, I started scuba diving. Because I was born in Austria, mountain lakes were my playground. The crystal clear but freezing water inspired me to take my photography skills to the next level. I bought a beginner compact camera and a convenient waterproof housing and some suitable lights. Soon this type of photography caught me the most, so now I am trying to it everywhere I travel.

During my Business Informatics studies, I began to work in the film industry. I started to shoot my first short films and nature videos. Now my full-time job is working as a 1.AC in TV commercials. I decided to combine my passion for nature and wildlife with my filmmaking skills. My dream job would be a wildlife filmmaker!
