Blocks of ice on the beach in Iceland

Capturing the dynamics of the Atlantic waves together with the blocks of ice from the glacier lagoon is an exciting endeavour. When searching for motifs, never lose sight of the waves, which are regularly particularly strong. Then it's time to seek safe ground for a short time.

Evening colours

The wonderful colours that had characterised this evening on the North Sea coast inspired me to create an image alienation that gives the existing forms and structures a soft, flowing appearance.

Lofoten lies far to the north, which results in very short daylight periods in winter. The sunrise goes directly into the sunset, which can result in many interesting light situations.

Lava flow in the first morning light

Experiencing this elemental force in the first light of the new day was a particularly impressive experience. The lava flowed slowly but inexorably. I could feel the intense heat and the forces that shaped our planet were very present to me.

If you stand in front of the steep "Holy Staircase" at the top, it looks as if you are descending into a bottomless pit. The metal staircase is a very typical motif for the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, here in an unusual perspective.

Full of expectation, I had climbed to the top of the Strudelkopf to be able to look at the striking famous rock formation. The view was breathtakingly beautiful.

Frozen blades of grass

Rain after a heavy frost had covered nature with a thick layer of ice, everything looked enchanted. I wanted to capture this unusual weather situation in a picture. It was only possible to move around on the icy paths in the Eastern Ore Mountains with great care.

In the waterfall

This photo location places high demands on people and equipment. You walk behind the waterfall and have to deal with a lot of spray, the photographic equipment used has to be able to withstand this. It is a special experience.

Colored ashes

Iceland owes the rich red tones of this picture to volcanism. I am always fascinated by the colors and landscapes created by this powerful force of nature.

Light sign

In this shot, the light of the moon had illuminated the snow-covered mountains of the Lofoten Islands, along with aurora borealis in the form of a light sign. This light made the deep, cold night in the north a particularly impressive experience.
