About

Photography & me

I am an enthusiastic amateur photographer living in Salzburg, Austria. Seeing the world through a camera has always fascinated me. At the age of 10, I got my first camera from my father who also was an amateur photographer. Sometimes I was allowed to watch him in his darkroom and I still can remember the magic moment when the white paper suddenly turned into a photo. And I fondly remember listening to my parents’ debating about pictures. So photography also became one of my hobbies. But with the amount of new possibilities offered by the digital photography and Adobe Photoshop, the hobby became a passion.

From 2017 – 2023 I was a member of the Salzburger Fotoklub. From 2020 – 2023 I successfully completed the course for Applied and Artistic Photography at the Prager Fotoschule (Linz).

If you want to get in contact with me, just write me an e-mail: uu.fotografie@gmail.com. I’m looking forward to it!
