Time for (Self-)Reflection

  • Photographer
    Michael Schmidmeister

A serene autumnal setting in the Upper Engadine, Switzerland. While waiting on the wind to calm down again and the lake's surface to create an almost perfect reflection there was also time for self-reflection and self-awareness. And then suddenly there was a rush as two stand up paddlers are approaching from the right and very soon entering the scene. So it's now or never, make the shot!

Born in 1979, I am an amateur photographer living in Switzerland in the surroundings of Zurich. I genuinely got serious about my photography in 2015 through my dad – a passionate amateur photographer himself – who inspired me with his pictures and tought me the ropes of photography. In my spare time and more likely when travelling I like to take pictures. I focus on landscape and cityscape photography in which I am trying to find my masterpiece shot. ;-)
