Your Tour Guide and Photographic Companion for Safaris & Photo Tours in Africa

Personally Guided · Learn Photography & Editing · Develop Your Own Visual Language

Behind Magical Photo Tours lies a deep passion for nature, wildlife, and conscious photography. Do you wish to combine extraordinary experiences with the further development of your photographic abilities? I will personally guide you to exclusive nature reserves far from the crowds and support you in achieving your photographic goals.

Photography with Passion and Experience

Passion for wildlife and photography · On-site photographic guidance · Image composition and editing · South Africa specialist

For me, photography means far more than just technique or perfect images. Photography transforms the way we perceive the world. It heightens our awareness of light, moods, and those small moments that often get lost in the hustle of daily life. Especially on a photo safari in Africa, this creates something truly special: you experience wildlife and nature more intensely, more consciously, with your full concentration on the present moment. It is exactly this experience that I aim to share directly on location as your tour guide and photographic companion.

Personal Guidance Instead of a Classic Photography Course

I see myself less as a classic professional photographer and more as a passionate companion with extensive experience in photography, safaris, and travel organisation. During the journey, I will be actively by your side with my own camera, supporting you in the practical implementation of your ideas during game drives.

My priority is that you feel comfortable throughout the trip, can ask questions freely, understand everything our local photographers explain, and can develop your skills towards your personal objectives.

I support you in areas such as:

  • Photography during game drives

  • Camera settings

  • Image composition

  • Observing light and situations

  • Developing your photographic vision and perception

  • Image editing on the computer

 

All this without performance pressure. Simply for the joy of photography and the experience itself.

All wildlife images on this website were photographed and edited by me. 

A little about me

Since my youth, I have been a passionate hobby photographer. After completing my studies in Business Administration and Marketing, I trained as a graphic designer and have now been working with great enthusiasm in a communication agency for nearly 20 years.

 

My Photography

Even during high school, I spent nearly every free minute in the school’s darkroom. Experiencing the magic of an image emerging from light and shadow fascinates me to this day. Photography remains far more than a hobby for me—it is my creative outlet, my medium for focus, and my key to being completely present in the here and now.

 

My Digital Darkroom

As a graphic designer, I have a trained eye for images. Evaluating and editing them is part of my daily routine. I enjoy using subtle techniques to develop a good image into one with a true "wow" effect, and I love sharing this knowledge with you. My goal is to ensure you return home with expressive images you can be truly proud of.
