Tourism- and
Outdoor -photography, Project design and Consulting
The
idea has started in 86 under the name of "Outdoor Engineering".
As a travelling extreme sportsman and photo journalist with a
geographer's background, I have been very much interested to
work with Outdoor- and Ecotourism, and, moreover to bring on new
conceptions and ideas and realize them, wherever they might be
useful for a national or regional tourism of the different
countries. You can find a list of those projects below!
Co-worker of my projects has been the photographer and designer
Stefan Schuetz. Graphic works are mainly realized by Walter Köpnick.
As a
freelance photojournalist I am working mainly with the following
magazines and editions:
Gleitschirm (the german
Paragliding Magazine), Swissglider (the Swiss Paragliding
Magazine), Abenteuer & Reisen (one of the major german
travel and adventure magazines), Klettern (the Climbing
Magazine), Fit for Fun (a major leisure and sports
magazine)
Reise & Preise (a large Travel
Magazine), as well as for the Reiseknowhow publishers
(the equivalent of Footprint or Lonely Planet). Foreign
publications have been on several occasions on demand with
different Magazines from France, England, Italy, Spain,Russia
