More Than Just Pictures

The footage captured by these camera traps has grown to mean much more than simple documentation. It’s become an essential tool for environmental education and public outreach. Together with Luchs Bayern e.V., we use these images to raise awareness about the importance of lynx conservation and their role in the ecosystem.

Camera trap photos and videos make the unseen visible – they reveal the beauty and vulnerability of nature. They tell stories that evoke emotions, helping to build understanding and acceptance for lynxes and their habitats. I’m especially proud that some of these images are now featured in exhibitions and educational events.

Mastering the Craft

Camera traps are fascinating tools, but they require patience and experimentation. Placement is crucial to capturing animal behavior without disturbing them. Over the years, I’ve learned to identify ideal locations and fine-tune the equipment to suit the environment.

Looking Ahead

This project in lynx territory has given me more than just incredible footage – it’s fostered a deep connection to the Bavarian Forest area and a strong partnership with the team at Luchs Bayern e.V. In the future, I hope these camera traps will continue to showcase the beauty of our native wildlife and inspire others to protect it.

For me, working with camera traps is more than photography – it’s a contribution to ensuring that the lynx has a future in Bavaria.
