​ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Manfred – a nature lover, globetrotter and passionate photographer.

​

I've been capturing the beauty of nature with my camera for over 35 years. It all started with analogue photography, but today I work digitally – yet my enthusiasm for animal subjects has remained.

 

I am particularly fascinated by birds in their natural environment. I love capturing those unique moments when an animal is completely at ease – honest, wild and real.

​

With my pictures, I want to show not only how beautiful and diverse the animal world is, but also create an emotional connection between the viewer and the subject. Because those who are moved are more willing to protect our nature.

​

Photography is a labour of love for me – not a job, but a calling. Proceeds from image sales or lectures go directly to wildlife projects in South Africa. This is my small contribution to protecting those who have no voice.

In addition to my camera, dogs have been my constant companions for decades – I have worked professionally with dogs for over 35 years.

 

Today, I often travel with my rucksack, binoculars and telephoto lens – always on the lookout for the next magical moment.

In addition to travelling, I also have plans for projects and volunteer work. We report on our adventures at www.bushbaby.info.
