    Bronze in Nature / Wildlife

While the polar bear is threatened worldwide by climate change and populations are declining, the population on the arctic archipelago of Svalbard is growing steadily. During my trip in may this year I had numerous encounters with the king of the arctic, the highlight was a curious cub fresh in its icy world

Hello! I am Judith... I would like to call myself an “ambitious amateur photographer”. My main focus is nature and landscape photography, but I also like to make detours to other genres. Everything I know about photography is self-educated. A few books here, some internet research there, inspiration from the works of other photographers and a lot, really a lot of trying things out has brought me to where I am today. My great happiness is my home on beautiful Lake Constance. I have a lot of photo spots right on my doorstep and the way to the Austrian, Swiss and Italian Alps is not too far.
