    The GDT mourns the loss of Gisela Pölking.

    With Gisela's passing, the German Society for Nature Photography (GDT) has lost one of its members, who was among the very first to shape the GDT community. She established herself early on as a nature photographer with her own unique perspective alongside her husband Fritz. She was undoubtedly one of the pioneers of a more feminine and artistic approach to nature photography.
