On the photo you can see beautiful Hanani. I love how her mystical look suits to the atmosphere of the scenery. We were really lucky to have fog during the photoshooting. Fog always conjures up special moods. It makes structures softer, creates an brilliant ambiance and makes sunrays visible.

Honorable Mention

Between lights and shadows.

On the photo you can see Tyrion posing in the beautiful scenery of the "Altschlossfelsen" in Germany. Taking photos in this incredible surrounding was like short trip to Arizona.

I am always amazed about the treasures of nature. As the saying goes "nature is the greatest artist" and this tiny cave in the form of a raindrop shows it once more. Really thankful that we discovered this place in Sweden on our way to Norway.

raindrop.

This photo is really simply. Less structures, less things to see, even the color version was really achromatic.  But the foggy ambiance, the small movement of the dog, the reflection and the small waterdrops make it special to me.

When I saw these trees for the first time I immediately had the final motif in my mind. I just needed to wait for the perfect conditions. The cold season, the trees without leaves and a foggy day. With Hanani I had the perfect dog model because she is tall enough not to get lost in this scene.

On this photograph, Ylenia is captured in a magical moment in the morning. This fascinating backlight creates a warm, gentle aura around Ylenia, lending the scene a special magic. The lake, touched by the first rays of sunlight, begins to mist, enveloping the surroundings in a delicate veil of fog.

On the photo you can see the rescued Podenco Robert. Robert probably didn't have the best experiences with humans so far. But he presented a very self-confident side during the photoshooting. It was incredibly to see that Robert has learned to trust again and can now start his new life.

Green - the color of hope

The Corgi Xingfu posed for me this autumn. I like how heis framed by the warm, golden hues of fall foliage. The mist lingers in the air, softening the forest backdrop and casting a gentle glow over the scene. The dog gazes intently forward, adding a sense of curiosity and calm to this serene.

I always dreamed of a photo like that. With the two white shepherds Jari and Ylvie I finally could created it. I love how the two dogs stand out vividly against the deep blue tones of the early dawn, creating an atmosphere of quiet mystery and serene wilderness.

The silence of the mist.

This scene was like straight out of Arizona. It’s hard to believe this stunning landscape is actually in Germany. The dramatic backdrop and his noble presence make this moment feel truly surreal.
