1. Please tell us something about yourself. How did you get interested in photography, especially landscape photography?
I have been working as a travel photographer for 30 years. Landscapes always fascinated me. The love for outdoors and wide open spaces carried over to my work as a photographer. I grew up in Switzerland but moved to Oregon, United States, 20 years ago to live in a wider landscape.
2. How do you plan your photo trips/location scouting?
We travelled to over 70 countries on assignments, so I know many places well for my tours. Sometimes I do scout locations again for my clients.
3. Among composition, lighting, and subject, which according to you plays a greater role in creating an impactful landscape?
It is all in the light, although the composition is very important as well. I try to transport a certain feeling.
