At 1990 I started taking pictures under water in Tyrol,
where I come from. At the beginning I just wanted to show my relatives and
friends how amazing these adventures are and to „proof“ my tremendous
experiences. It is a long time since I started taking pictures with my first
camera, a Nikonos with a 35mm lens. The last few years, since I changed into
digital photography, I used a NIKON D4 and changed not to a NIKON D4 &
SEACAM housing – an unbeatable combination.
Out of the ordinary, and extraordinary beauty are most
fascinating for me as an underwater photographer. A passion, that will never
die. To find a new point of view on every single dive and in every single
picture is my personal life-task. Nowadays it is also important to me, that I
can send out a message to the people. I like to show them what a beauty there
is under water and how fragile this world has become. It is an ecological
concern, that might be in our mind in future and that everybody is responsible.
My „little darlings“ as a photographer are animals, which
are really hard to catch on a picture. I take a lot of photos with my super
wide angle lens, a lens that opens exceeding perspectives.
