Under the title "face to face" I produce photos of animals. The style is mostly similar to a portrait with only the head visible and not the full body. This also allows me to focus the viewers attention on the animals itself and its expression.

Most of these photos are taken in zoos whereas only a few are of wild animals. My philosophy for the zoo-shots is always to exclude the surroundings of cages and enclosures as far as possible.

Due to a personal preference quite a majority of these photos show predatory animals ... most of them large cats like lions, tiger or snow leopards.

You can also just have a look at my portfolio of animals portraits.

With my photos of Snow Leopards I also support the "Snow Leopard Trust" within their "Artists in Conservation" program
