I am from a small village in germany, where are lots of meadows and fields, which is why and how I got into nature photography. If I would be living in a metropolis, maybe I would have gotten into street photography, who knows?!
I am a photographer for four years now, but always with long breaks. I would consider myself as a beginner who is happy to try out new things, and sometimes the result is a great shot.
In the beginning I always wanted everything to be perfect, but I soon figured out that it takes a great amount of time and practise to even be good. I was very frustrated back then but now I consider every bad photo as a good practise. The patience I gained because of photography is the most  important part of my developement as a photographer for me.
I like macro photography the most because there is always a subject to take a picture of. You simply don't have to drive kilometre after kilometre to get to the highest mountain, or look out for the most beautiful model, one step away from your front door is often enough. Plus, you can take a picture of a detail of the nature, which you wouldn't have seen with just your eyes.
