"Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."
Elliot Erwitt
Monika Seyffer
I am a passionate Land / Cityscape photographer from Switzerland with a passion for Wildlife Photography. Taking pictures is like writing my own diary. I can still see myself where I stood taking the image, can feel the fresh air in the early morning hours and the adrenaline running through my veins.
I prefer to take trips on the adventures side, love Wildlife- and Landscape photography and admire old and new Architecture. My camera is always with me and my diary keeps growing.
Pictures taken with Sony A7riii, A7riv and A7rv
