Reviews

"You are accompanied competently and your questions are answered with a lot of knowledge. Any time again!"

"Absolutely recommendable workshop with a young and ambitious wildlife photographer."
"All I can say is WOW!"

All workshops are customizable to excactly your level. Together we spend the time on location with photography. During the workshop I will give you tips on how to improve your photos. Before and after the workshop you have the possibility to send me photos by mail. My critique allows you to learn even more from the workshop and to improve your wildlife photography further.

All courses are free to choose in the given time periods as long as I am available on the proposed date. However, as a student I am quite limited, especially during the week (Except Workshop Beaver). However, I am confident that we can find a date. The earlier the proposal arrives, the higher the probability that I will be available on that date.

The workshops all take place with wild animals. This may also mean that certain animals do not behave as we hope. If the promised animal species, printed in bold, does not show up at all, only the secondary price in brackets has to be paid. This depends on what other species and photo motives the location offers.

Local winter guests

In this workshop we will search for different water birds like tufted ducks, common merganser, gadwall.

Ducks at the Klingnauer Stausee

Every year hundreds of dabbling and diving ducks such as teals, pintails, pochards and tufted ducks spend the winter at the Klingnauer Stausee. With a bit of luck, other winter guests such as the great white egret, the moorhen, the greylag goose and the kingfishers can be photographed.

An evening at the beavers

A workshop about the beaver living in the middle of the city. The big rodents have become accustomed to humans and can be photographed relatively easily. Apart from the beaver, we also devote ourselves to the other inhabitants of the river such as the Mute Swan, Great Crested Grebe, Gulls and more.

Backlit common terns

More than 50 pairs of common terns breed in Fanel every year. In the evening the elegant birds can be photographed while hunting. We can try out different light situations. With a little luck the common terns can even be photographed in front of the sun. Besides the common terns, we can also photograph various gulls as well as reed warblers.

Alpine ibexes on the Niederhorn

The Niederhorn in the Bernese Oberland is home to a variety of alpine animal species such as ibex, ptarmigan and chamois. Together we set out in search of these charismatic animals. But the impressive Alpine panorama should not be missed out either.

Individual Workshops

Your very own personal photo workshop. You determine our target type. Together we will look for a location and do research on the internet. On site I will give you tips and tricks how to improve your photography.
