I'm honored to contribute visuals to the incredible @manudelagomusic's new album "Snow From Yesterday." This video showcases water in all its stunning forms, captured from the Arctic to Antarctica. Watch it here: https://t.co/MMQcOMrmgU #SnowFromYesterday #ManuDelago

@Eukalyptea Danke dir ☺️

Tonight on @ndr (21:00): "Magisches Frankreich" premieres! Proud to share my drone, macro & micro videography. Producing footage in high mountain areas is challenging but rewarding!

@Bundesheerbauer Oder Zivilist! Zählt bei mir nur leider nicht als Dienstzeit. 😁

It’s always special to witness a solar eclipse, but experiencing one from the frozen expanse of Antarctica is on another level. 🧊🌒

A stunning progression of Tuesday's eclipse, captured from remote Lake Untersee.

Watching the #stars above a #glacier while the ice slowly disappears below — magical, yet a little unsettling.

This timelapse captures just a glimpse of that feeling: endless stars above a fragile landscape in motion.
Can you spot the Jamtalferner?

Alpine peaks and drifting clouds hid most of tonight’s #LunarEclipse — but I got lucky and captured fragments of the Moon’s journey through Earth’s shadow. 🌕✨

❄️ Visited #Hintereisferner for a video project — a #glacier in Tirol’s Naturpark Ötztal ranging from 2,500–3,750 m. It holds one of the world’s longest records of glacier mass balance, a key to understanding #ClimateChange in the Alps. 📸 more footage coming soon. #Scicomm

❄️ Glaciers. 🌲 Forests. 🌊 Lakes. ⛰️ Summits.

Nearly 3 years of filming across the Tyrolean Alps turned into one story:
how long-term ecological research helps us understand climate & ecosystems.
Here’s the trailer ⬇️

#Fieldwork is more than #glaciers — it’s the journey.
hauling gear up mountains
camping for days
capturing science in action
building tools for tough conditions
This is how research turns into visuals that inspire & connect.
🎥 Trailer drops tomorrow.
