I regularly participate in some of the world’s most prestigious wildlife photography competitions, where my images are judged alongside the work of leading professionals and talented amateurs from across the globe. Any award or recognition I receive is always a tremendous source of inspiration and motivation.
My award winning images
Crossing Water
A cold morning on Lake Kerkini in Northern Greece I noticed a Dalmatian pelican approaching from the distance as we were sailing back to the harbour in our big wooden boat. The soft morning light created a pastel-like atmosphere to the scenery with the mountains in the background and a completely mirrorlike water surface. I was ready and concentrated on getting the composition right when the pelican passed only five metres from our boat. Fortunately, I had a wide-angle lens on the camera.

Nail Biting
One evening, I was sitting in a special build hide in Hungary photographing at water level. I was invisible to the birds outside and this Night Heron stood for a long time just in front of me being busy with its claw. I used a low f-number to get a soft framing in the nice evening sun.
Commended | Best Portrait | Bird Photographer of the Year 2020.
Eurasian Wigeon
One morning in April I went out with my floating hide nearby Copenhagen in Denmark. A pair of Eurasian wigeon were sitting on some rocks and after a while the male entered the water just in front of me. I made this image of the beautiful bird in the soft morning light.
