I'm very often out taking photographs just because I like it. That is the most
important precondition to get good results.
The steps from shooting until
printing the photographs are all aiming towards very large prints with very high
resolution.
Formerly working with the large formate camera I was happy to
get prints 120 x 80 cm in size. Today with the digital equipment the size and
the resolution should be much higher. Photographs about 2 m large and with
exceptionel resolution are exhibited at various locations in Münster (Visiting
them is possible upon request)
For 15 years I could obtain the qualityI longed for by using large-formate-film in a
view camera.
In the last years digital technology has advanced so far, that
it provides me with much higher quality than my analoge equipment. Since 2010 I
use stitching-technology ( = panorama technique) to put together several shots of a DSLR-camera to
a singel photograph with extraordinary high resolution.

Various journey reports and other photographic series are presented in
the galleries. However this homepage is not a complete review of my photographic
work. It will just give you an idea of my kind of landscape photography.
As this site provides you only with a small section of my work I strongly
encourage every interested party to ask for a selection of digital images
focussing on your favorite issue.
Scans and prints can be purchased directly from me. More informations and prices

I can shoot image series of the same location at various
seasons when I am photographing in my home region. That is how the two images of
the same avenue of oaks were made. More image series of this kind are found in
the new page Münsterland series.
