Countries
No other country has smuggled itself into my soul more persistently than Burma. I wandered through towns, caves, fields and monasteries, hiked to remote hill tribes and documented novice ceremonies, weddings and cremations.
The greatest discoveries were the people of Burma, their touching tolerance and warm-heartedness. With TIMELESS BURMA, I want to make the photographs appear timeless as well as these timeless values. It is my final declaration of love to the country and its people.

Olympic National Park in the north-west of the USA is home to three ecosystems: Almost 2,500-metre-high mountains, which I hiked through on snowshoes, rugged rocky coasts, whose wide beaches and colourful tide pools attract big and small explorers, and the northernmost rainforest in the world, a mystical magic world of mosses and trees up to a hundred metres high.

Breathtaking desert landscapes, impressive mountain ranges, exuberant hospitality and delicious food. Oman offers all of that. I venture deep into the interior – the 7th Hole Cave on the Selmah Plateau is quite something.

Experience the thrill of winter in Switzerland with four ice adventures: ice canyoning in Pontresina, ice climbing on majestic frozen walls, tranquil cross-country skiing through Arosa’s serene forests, and daring ice bathing at Untersee, Europe’s first public ice bath.
Breathtaking desert landscapes, impressive mountain ranges, exuberant hospitality and delicious food. Oman offers it all. I ventured deep into the ‘interior’ – the 7th Hole cave on the Selmah Plateau is quite something.
Scientists called Venezuela’s Salto Angel waterfall the eighth wonder of the world. The dreamlike, yet mystical Table Mountains inspired James Cameron for his film Avatar. And I finally fulfilled my long-cherished No. 1 travel dream on my fourth attempt: a trip to what I consider the most spectacular landscape in the world.
