About

I’m Florian, an IT professional by trade and a photographer by heart.

The camera started as an excuse. Work took me to a lot of cities, and by the time the meetings were done the museums were closed. A camera gave me a reason to leave the hotel anyway, to walk, look, and come back with something.

In 2015 one of those work trips had a gap of a few days, and I spent them in the South African bush. That changed what the camera was for. Since then I have gone back whenever I can: to South Africa again, through Botswana from Victoria Falls, alone on the gravel roads of Namibia, and across northern Tanzania to the Serengeti.

Wildlife is where I started. Events and portraits are next, and they will join this site soon.

What these photos were made with

Over the years: Canon EOS 5D Mark III and Mark IV, later the EOS R5 and R6 Mark II. Most of the wildlife was shot at 400 to 700 mm, first with the EF 100–400 mm and a 1.4× extender, now with the RF 100–500 mm. For landscapes and the wider view, a 24–70 mm or a 70–200 mm.
