The soul of the Alps by StefanHefele

What is it that makes the Alps and mountains so fascinating? For sure it´s their unimaginable dimensions. The depth, the expanse. The dangers involved stimulate and challenges our primary instincts. But the sheer beauty that a mountain massif radiates is hard to put into words and will fulfill me in 2016 even more intensive.
Join me on this adventurous path.

Lothlórien´s Glade by StefanHefele

“Lothlórien´s Glade”

I already have been to my own Lothlórien in early summer. This time I wanted to portrait this special place in a totally different light. At night. I had proper conditions with cold temperatures, a sky with billions of diamonds and no wind for a good mirror. The infinite silence penetrated through all my limbs, transforming the reality into a phantastic landscape.

Phantasia by StefanHefele

“Phantasia” – Dolomites

Back from a short but intense trip to the Dolomites I was able to catch the first autumn colors. I´m not a fan of blue skies, but once there I had to deal with it. While hiking the whole day I enjoyed this soft and warm light at afternoon before the cold of the night broke in at 2200m. Thanks to my brother for having a great time outdoors.

The Coronation by StefanHefele

“The Coronation” – A new life is born

The Coronation of life is when you witness how new life is starting to breath. Especially when it´s your own flesh and blood. Three days ago my little daughter came into this crazy world. To her I want to dedicate this very special photo, which I see myself as one of my most inspiring moments ever.

Goblins Woods by StefanHefele

“Goblins Woods” – Redwood – USA

While I roamed over hill and dale thru those Giant Forests at the early morning hours in search for a nice angle I suddenly tripped over this unique match of light. The morning haze in combination with the dense forest vegetation made it a fairy for the eyes. It was just a short moment where I quickly had to find a composition. But luckily my instincts work quite well sometimes ;-).

Alpine Paradise by StefanHefele

“Alpine Paradise” – Sonnenspitze – Austrian Alps

Hard work mostly gets rewarded. What I´m talking about is climbing on a mountain with heavy gear. What was a great experience with my brother! Waiting the whole night until dawn starts and hoping for some nice conditions. The view was great here. The hardest part here was to find a compelling foreground. A touch of warm sidelight from the rising sun that honors the Sonnenspitze (sun peak) on the left. Germanys highest mountain Zugspitze sits enthroned in the background and complements the frame.
