About Karsten Mosebach
Over 30 years ago, a friend took Karsten Mosebach deer stalking in the early morning hours for the first time. Karsten listened eagerly to the rustling sounds coming from all directions and tried to peer into the darkness. With the light of dawn, the first animals came out of their hiding places. Karsten Mosebach still has the first photo he took of a deer on that day. It's a lousy photo, but for Karsten it marks the beginning of his love for nature photography. To this day, he chases all kinds of animals with his camera and boundless energy, always trying to get close enough to build a connection and take that special shot. In nature, Karsten enjoys nothing more than being able to take photographs of a moor landscape or a forest slowly emerging from the morning mist.
