I photographed Ghost Stalker in September 2019 while on Safari With Wild Focus Expeditions in the Brazilian Pantanal.

Meanwhile I have spent more than a year photographing wildlife, people and landscapes in all corners of the Pantanal. In September 2019 I was back in this magic place for the first time since my book Pantanal – South America’s Wetland Jewel has been published in 2005. It was rated by Discover Magazine as one of the 10 best scientific oriented books of the year. In 2003 I spent 10 days on the northern Pantanal’s river system and saw 4 jaguars. It was one of the most beautiful experiences I had as a wildlife photographer. The bonus was that I didn’t see a single other photographer during this time. How the situation had changed over the years! For the better and the worse. During my last trip we saw an incredible number of 18 jaguars in only 5 days. But, we had to share the sightings often with up to 30 boats loaded with tourists. If I had to choose between the two visits I would rather go back in time with many less people and also less jaguar sightings.

I am offering Ghost Stalker as a black & white photographic print.

The Ghost Stalker fine art print has a limited edition of only 100. Most other fine art photographers have a much higher limited edition number. The lower the number the higher is the value of the print. Please also browse through my other limited editions  Special Limited Fine Art Prints  (edition of ONLY 25) and Exclusive Art Collector Prints (edition of ONLY 5)

I photographed Pride Of Africa in August while on Safari With Wild Focus Expeditions in Botswana

During my month long visit in Botswana’s Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park there wasn’t a single day without oohs and ahhs. The safari was spiced with unforgettable lion sightings. On same days I came across more than 20 lions. The challenge as a photographer was to isolate unique moments as there often were just too many lions in the frame. These were moments when I put the camera down and just enjoyed watching their interactions of play, cuddling and nuzzling. What an experience!

I am offering Pride Of Africa as a black & white,  High Key print because it draws the viewer more towards the lions’ eyes than the colored version would do. Usually High Key (light) images reflect more happiness than Low Key ones (dark, very contrasty images). The lion mother and her cub approaching my vehicle radiated happiness and safety.

Savuti Lions – Photographed in August 2019

In 2019 I had the most exciting lion sightings ever in Botswana. Savuti in southern Chobe National Park was entertaining us with amazing actions of lions mating, fighting, small cubs playing, mothers nursing and hunts. The normally sleeping cats put up shows that were fascinating to watch. This couple had reached the end of its several day long mating period and was still hanging out together.

I am offering Savuti Lions as a black & white,  High Key print. Usually High Key (light) images reflect more happiness than Low Key ones (dark, very contrasty images). This lion mating pair surely deserves a happy representation.

Polar bears are highly threatened due to global warming. They need the ice to hunt seals, their main diet. Over the past decade the winters have become warmer in the Arctic and the ice cover shorter. The polar bears are considered vulnerable and the population is decreasing.

One of the oldest and largest deserts, the Namib stretches inland from the Atlantic Ocean, covering large swathes of Namibia and parts of Angola and South Africa. This arid hotspot surprisingly supports a diverse number of plants and animals, some of which are found nowhere else in the world.

The Lone Wanderer fine art print has a limited edition of only 25. Most other fine art photographers have a much higher limited edition number. The lower the number the higher is the value of the print.

Since childhood the tiger has been my favorite animal. During my first zoo visit at the age of seven this powerful, at the same time graceful and absolutely beautiful cat has captured my fascination. It was not until the year 2000 when I finally was able to fulfill  my dream to see my first tiger in the wild. Since then I have spent almost one year observing and photographing tigers in several Indian tiger reserves.
