My name is Wolfgang Hultsch. For me, taking a photo means capturing beauty with my camera and giving it eternal life. Since I was given my first Minolta at the age of maybe 12, I have been looking closely at things around us and imagining how I can best portray the wonders as a photograph.

​I left my native city of Lüneburg at the age of 13 and returned to the northern German district town 8 years ago. I finished school at a boarding school in the Harz Mountains, inspired by my family I then trained in a hotel. Actually, the job in Scotland was already fixed, but then I bought a one-way ticket to Cape Town. In South Africa, I worked in the biggest hotel, the Cape Sun. For my job as duty manager, I had to get a dinner jacket specially tailored. This time has left its mark on me and I am always drawn back to South Africa. The advertising slogan back then was one world in one country, which is true. In Germany there was reunification. I went to live with my family in Moritzburg near Dresden, where we opened a hotel. After my studies at the TU Munich, I worked at serval well known companies.

In my free time I am outdoors. In my garden, out with the dog or taking photos. Or I cook something delicious.  My guests like my chestnut soup quite a lot.

As a hobby photographer, I taught myself the tools of the trade. My work focuses on nature photography: landscapes, animals, plants. But I am also at horse shows, airports and where there are people. Always on the lookout for something special.
