Through the Lens of Devotion — A Photographer’s Lifelong Love for Wolves
There is something almost mythical about the way wolves move — silent, deliberate, wild yet graceful. For one German photographer, these creatures are not just subjects; they are his lifelong obsession, his muse, and the reason he fell in love with photography.
His story began with a deep affection for animals long before he ever picked up a camera. But capturing the spirit of a wolf proved unlike photographing anything else. “You can’t tell a wolf what to do,” he explains. “They decide when to show themselves — and when to disappear.”
This unpredictability is both the greatest frustration and the greatest gift of wildlife photography. There are no retakes or rehearsals. Hours in the cold might bring nothing — or a fleeting moment where everything aligns: the light, the landscape, and the wolf. In these moments, patience becomes more valuable than any lens.
