Field Notes

Adventures & journeys

Every photograph and film starts with going somewhere — on foot, by bike, sometimes by cable car when the legs give up. These are the journeys so far.

Hiking the Zugspitze ridge
Germany · Bavarian Alps

Up the Zugspitze

Germany's highest mountain, climbed the long way from Garmisch — through the Partnach valley, past glacial streams, up onto the ridge above the clouds. Two films, many sore muscles, zero regrets. Plus a via ferrata in the Karwendel for the head-for-heights test.

Hiker on a ridge in the French Alps
France · Mont Blanc Massif

Mont Blanc & the French Alps

Day hikes around Chamonix with the white roof of Europe always in view — sunrise ridgelines, cowbells echoing across the valleys, and the cable car up the Aiguille du Midi for a look at the top of the world.

Gondolas on a Venetian canal
Italy · Venice

The Floating City

Venice before the crowds wake up — gondolas knocking gently against their moorings, golden light on the Doge's Palace, and getting deliberately lost in the maze of canals. A photographer's playground.

View of Kangra Valley and the Himalayas from a plane
India · Himachal Pradesh

The Himalayan Foothills

Flying into Dharamshala over the Kangra Valley, with the snow line of the Dhauladhar range glowing in the evening sun. The mountains where it all feels bigger — and where there are many more stories to come.

Snow-covered alpine church and mountains in Austria
Austria & Beyond · Winter

Chasing snow across Europe

A winter road trip through the Alps — from the Dolomites into Austria, past frozen lakes and villages buried in white. Proof that the cold months are the most photogenic ones.

Aerial view of the Rhine river at sunset
Germany · Home Ground

The Rhine, the fields & the fog

Not every adventure needs a plane ticket. Most of my wildlife work happens close to home — foggy river mornings, deer in the hay fields at dusk, storks on the chimney tops. The everyday wild, if you get up early enough.
