< 1 Min. Grasshoppers, ants, cicadas, black flies, phasmids. Then 197 species of butterflies and even a leafcutter bee. The island is also home to endemic snakes, skinks, geckos, bats, 21 species of birds, including an entire family of bird species, the kagus.
Countless photos. Each with a story.
Pearl in the Indian Ocean
Sri Lanka photo gallery
< 1 Min. Sri Lanka: a small, extremely diverse country with the size of Bavaria. The tropical island delights with paradisiacal beaches, mountains up to 2,500 metres high, historical sanctuaries and an exuberant flora and fauna. I spent 5 months there with my family.
Ranger training on the edge of the Kruger National Park
South Africa photo gallery
< 1 Min. Exploring the wilderness on foot in the midst of lions, elephants and buffalo? You can learn to do that. In summer 2019, I will join a field guide course in South Africa.
On foot through Muddus National Park in Lapland
Sweden photo gallery
< 1 Min. The tour starts in Luleå in the north of Sweden. During the tour we hike in the Muddus National Park, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Laponia. Three nights in huts or tents, no WiFi, no electricity, no running water. Instead, pure nature and outhouse toilets. Re-poaching – just the way I like it.
With scientists on board
Arctic photo gallery
< 1 Min. On board the ‘Resolute’, a comfortably equipped ship under the flag of the Royal Canadian Geographic Society, zoologists, ornithologists, oceanographers and glaciologists will conduct scientific surveys and counts over the next 10 days. And in the middle of it all, me, as a ‘temporary researcher’.
Rugged beauty in the Atlantic
Faroe Islands photo gallery
< 1 Min. Who would have thought that my beard, of all things, would get me in front of the camera? I am invited to the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic to shoot an public relations film for an eco-energy provider. On board, of course, my camera.
On the road with nomads
Jordan photo gallery
< 1 Min. The first day’s leg is already a tough one: we traipse through the sand for six hours. Our caravan is moving along the historic trade route that connected Jerusalem to Mecca for over a thousand years.
A voyage of discovery in the Amazon

< 1 Min. Expedition into the depths of the Amazon region with all its inhabitants. I was in the middle of it with a small group and couldn’t get out of my amazement.
On the trail of the tiger

Son Doong Cave Expedition
Vietnam photo gallery
< 1 Min. I can’t say it any other way: this was the most awesome thing I’ve ever done: The five-day expedition through one of the largest caves in the world in Vietnam. I couldn’t forget the amazement and sweating.
Insects on a grand scale - with the macro lens
Borneo photo gallery
< 1 Min. Borneo – what a paradise for nature photographers! Borneo’s jungle has a big biological diversity. What fascinates me most – besides orangutans and proboscis monkeys – is the variety of insects, which I got vividly close to with my new macro lens.
Malaysia | Borneo | Brunei | Burma
The Clavin Family in Asia’s jungle paradises
< 1 Min. Burma, Burma, again and again. We start in our heartland. New territory for us is Malaysia. And Singapore! From there, we’re heading to the rainforests of Borneo – with an interlude in the Sultanate of Brunei. And then we discover our great love for very small creatures!
