Marcel Burkhardt
project coordinator at the Swiss Ornithological Institute in Sempach, nature photographer
From bird-watching to bird photography: For many years, I have dedicated much of my free time to bird-watching and nature conservation. My pictures are an attempt to capture the beauty of birds and the fascination they inspire.
Nicolas Stettler
Biologist and Nature photographer
I have been involved in wildlife photography for over ten years. Having grown up in the Bernese Seeland region, I feel particularly at home by and in the water – whether above or below the surface. With my background as a biologist, I want to focus even more strongly on nature conservation and translate it into captivating picture stories.
Irene Sieber
board member of Naturfotografen Schweiz
Photography and travel are my great passions – and in recent years, I have been fortunate enough to turn both into my profession. As a freelance nature photographer and leader of photography tours, I am always on the lookout for that special light and extraordinary atmosphere. My photographic focus is on landscapes and wildlife, and I am particularly fond of our feathered friends. Birds fascinate me with their diversity, their behaviour and their close connection to their habitats.
Johannes Loreck
Canon (Switzerland) AG
Having chosen to live near the Neusiedlersee nature reserve and having taken part in various nature and wildlife photography events, I have a strong connection to this field, alongside my 30-year career at Canon. I am also responsible for all other areas of professional photography and film, supporting photographers and filmmakers in Switzerland and Austria.
Jacques Bibinet
Board member Association suisse des photographes
As a Swiss wildlife photographer based in Valais, I devote much of my time to observing wildlife in the field. My approach is based on patience, reading the environment and respecting species. Through my images, I seek to convey the beauty and fragility of the wild world.
