On my birthday - December 21st 2016 I received the wonderful news that President Obama protected almost the entire part of the US Arctic Ocean from oil and gas development. For years I have been photographing and filming these areas and gave countless presentations about the Alaskan Arctic. In partnerships with organizations like EarthJustice, WWF, Alaska Wilderness League, Braided River and Patagonia we have made people aware about the issues surrounding the Beaufort and Chu

FROM PATAGONIA: This fall, we dedicated our late-November catalogue to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. For the photo direction, we wanted to highlight life in the Refuge from the perspectives of both the Gwich’in people, for whom the Arctic’s coastal plain is sacred land, and the wildlife. Selecting a photographer to work with on the wildlife side of things was a quick decision, as I knew that Florian Schulz, the German conservation photographer, had been spending much o

So let me give you a bit of an insight to what I have found: What I very much like about the way Nikon has handled noise. Noise in the files looks more like film grain that those of us know from the old days of shooting film. The way noise shows up in images re

It took a number of weeks of concentrated work until Emil and I had finished our new multimedia presentation “Call of the Wild II”. As a child I was inspired by Jack London to explore the wilds of North America with his picturesque language. We presented our premiere at the WunderWelten-Festival on the 7th of November 2010 in Friedrichshafen at Lake Constance. It was an incredible experience to see how many people flocked to the event until I stood in front of a sold-out hall

I am just back from the field. For over 2 weeks I traveled out on the sea ice and the fjords of Svalbard, camping in Polar Bear country. As I am typing I feel my finger tips tingling, still half numb from the cold. I am completely exhausted for a lack of sleep and the constant cold coupled with wind. In my search of special light I stayed up with my guide throughout many nights out on the ice. A high pressure system provided us with good weather and magical sunlight during t
