What more creative inspiration for you?

I don't know if I convey it properly, but it is «the fleeting beauty» of all things, which only exists for a moment. For me, in all things and every situation, there is a beauty of life - of being - even if it is only a brief moment. And what inspired me? Simplicity. The inconsistency of humanity. The moment right now is the most important thing.

Currently you are definitely one of the best known aerial photographers. Why did you choose this special way to make the world immortal?

I am always looking for new ways to see the world. It all started with Polaroid and the panorama I took in the mid-90s. After that, I made photos that were made from many pictures; It was created with 500 single pictures. Then, in 2004, I started taking photos in a charter helicopter to get a whole new perspective.

Which path leads you to the career of photographer?

 

Everything comes from my father's Super 8mm film! Throughout my childhood, in the early 1970s, my father made a film about our vacations for up to 70 minutes. So, I grew up with the film rolls hanging around, with the smell of glue everywhere. I made my first film in 1980 and then at school, we had a black and white lab, and I started taking photos, developing my movies and making prints. From the age of 16, photography became more and more important to me.

 

One of your main subjects is nature and human impact on the environment. Do you want to make the public fully aware of global warming through your work?

 

Yes. But there are many aspects to mention, but global warming is just one of them. It emphasizes human unreasonable transactions and activities such as opening desert golf courses in Las Vegas as an example. These silly activities especially attracted me.
