Hey there! I’m Anette Mossbacher, a wildlife, landscape, and nature photographer extraordinaire. I take immense pride in capturing the very essence of nature and its amazing creatures. And you know what? My journey began way back when I was just a wide-eyed kid. I used to tag along with my dad on adventures through our local forests, uncovering the mysteries and marvels of our furry and feathery friends. That’s when the magic took hold, and my passion for nature and photography was born.

Fast forward to today, and I’ve been fortunate enough to explore the nooks and crannies of this incredible planet. From steamy tropical rainforests to blistering arid deserts, from the wide-open African savannahs to the icy realms of the Arctic, I’ve been there, camera in hand, ready to capture jaw-dropping landscapes and mesmerizing wildlife in their natural habitats.

You can bet your camera strap that I never leave home without my trusty gear. I’m always on the lookout for those breathtaking, unique, and downright rare moments that make your heart skip a beat.

My photography journey has led me to diverse projects and exciting opportunities. From contributing to platforms like ARKive for endangered species to being featured in publications around the world such as National Geographic, Forbes, and BBC Wildlife, I’ve had a wild ride.

My true passion lies in exploring different countries and immersing myself in diverse cultures. Imagine embarking on a personalized photo tour to exotic locations across the globe – lush jungles, awe-inspiring deserts, and breath-taking icefields.

These tailor-made tours and workshops are really flexible, and I’m always up for new projects. Whether we’re exploring hidden corners or well-known wonders, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in private photography workshops where I’ll personally guide you. We’ll unlock your unique style and vision, making your nature photography truly exceptional. We’ll elevate your skills to new heights, make incredible memories and create photographic magic, together.

Share with us the magic of Mother Earth. It is always fascinating for me how photographers portray nature.

Cheers Anette
