When I received my first camera at the age of 16, I had no idea that photography would accompany me throughout all my life. During a world trip that I took at the age of 20, I realized how well my love for orienteering and nature complimented my passion for photography.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As a result of several extensive trips through the USA, my first multimedia show, &#171;Faces of Nature,&#187; was created in 2003. Around 5,000 spectators were captivated by my carefully crafted presentation. In 2005, I followed this pass with my second multimedia project, &#171;Cycling Adventures in Australia.&#187;<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, I began sharing my photographic knowledge through tours and workshops. Over the years, this passion has evolved into my main profession. I now offer a wide variety of photo tours to destinations around the world.<\/p>\n<p>As a dedicated nature and landscape photographer, I am always looking for special moments. I am fascinated by variations in light, shape, and color, as well as extraordinary situations involving both humans and animals.<\/p>\n<p>Among my favorite travel destinations are the remote desert areas of North Africa and the monumental landscapes of the American Southwest.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, I have also explored European destinations through my photography. I am captivated by stunning landscapes, such as the waterfalls of Plitvice Lakes or the bizarre tree landscapes of Madeira. A massive eruption at the Stromboli volcano or the spectacular movements of the Northern Lights in the Scandinavian winter sky never fail to fascinate me.<\/p>\n<p>I now invite you to browse through my portfolios. I hope you enjoy the images and that you will visit my website regularly.<\/p>\n<p>Rolf Gemperle<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Rolf Gemperle, and I was born in 1965.
