CARETAKING

”I have always had a strong connection with animals. I can observe them for hours, day after day, gaining their trust and getting close to them”

I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. With experience in animal caretaking at zoos and wildlife sanctuaries I can provide you with the photos and footage that you need while also helping out in the field. I believe it benefits the story. This way I feel more connected and it gives me a better understanding of the project. It helps to create a more compelling story. I have worked with big cats, bears, wolves, apes, monkeys and other small mammals.

At first sight animals seem to live a life completely different to ours, but if you look closer, they have so much in common with us. I think that being able to relate to them is what it makes it so fascinating to me. They have a way to touch my soul that no one else can. Just like us they have their struggles in life, sadly often caused by us humans, and try to survive. Some have very complicated social structures while other prefer a more solitary life. They can be brutal when it comes to survival, but also very loving and kind to their babies. They all have their own unique personalities, something that I try to capture in a photo. So many stories are still waiting to be discovered and told. With a lot of patience, care, love and devotion I’m trying to capture their personalities, emotions and behavior in a photo. Patience is key and always with the utmost respect to nature and wildlife.

If my work can help make a positive difference in the life of these animals, even if it is only a small difference,
I would be extremely grateful. Let’s collaborate and make a difference together.
