Nature nominee

The pasque flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris) is a spring-flowering plant native to the mountains. For me, it's one of the most beautiful spring flowers, and I was able to photograph the first bloom in my garden, which was particularly beautiful and large.

I chose a light background to focus entirely on the beautiful flower with its stamens and delicate petals.

I started with photography on my long-distance trips lasting several weeks. At that time I still used an analogue SLR camera and slide films.
With digital cameras, a new era dawned for me too.
During a long time, in which my health was very limited, I had a lot of time to deal intensively with photography.
I've read a lot about it and kept trying new techniques, true to the motto
" Nothing ventured nothing gained " !

I have always been very close to nature, both professionally and in my free time. My focus is on landscape and nature photography. But I'm always open to new things.
That's how I fell in love with abstract and fine art photography. Even if this is of course a matter of taste.

Even though I have been taking photographs for a long time, I have only just started submitting pictures to photo competitions. I am therefore very happy about initial successes in:

Tokyo Int. Foto Awards
Budapest Foto Awards
International Photography Awards
New York Photography Awards
Fine Art Photography Awards
ND Awards
