I am a general photographer, with special focus on nature photography, stock photography and photo journalism
I have always been fascinated by beauty in nature and people, and by the possibility to capture that in photography and art. So I enjoy looking at the work of others, and supporting their art, as much as photographing myself.
I have been photographing for many years, as a hobby, but only recently switched to digital photography.
I have been an active member of deviantART since February 2008, and this has been a great incentive to further develop my skills, and discover new possibilities.
Especially the friendship with a few great artists and fotographers at deviantART has been very enriching and inspiring to me. I know some of them are active in this community too.
I am very grateful to them.
I hope to become an active member of this community too, and to encounter new friends on the way.
My two galleries at deviantART are:

See you around! :)
