About Me

Welcome to my website, my name is Tobias Richter and I’ve been working as a full-time landscape photographer since 2012. I’m from Saxony in Germany where I still live today.

With my work, I try to make the beauty of natural landscapes experienceable for the viewer and try to arouse an interest in wild nature, perhaps contribute something to their preservation.

I concentrate my work on European mountain landscapes in fascinating interaction with light and weather. Despite the use of modern, digital camera technology, it is important to me to create a natural image of the landscapes and to limit myself in post processing. In addition to the artistic aspect I see documentation in photography as a substantial part. For this reason it’s necessary for me to often revisit a photo spot until the conditions on site correspond to my image concept. Therefore I spend many nights in the mountains or start my tours well before dawn. That’s why in addition to the artistic aspect, I see photography to a large extent as documentary.

In search of impressive landscapes, primarily in areas largely untouched by humans, I travel outside of Germany across Europe for about 4 months a year. During the remaining year I concentrate myself to Germany’s natural beauties. Totally I spend about 200 days a year behind the tripod and camera.

The Elbe Sandstone Mountains, with its impressive rock formations, often submerged with rising fog above the Elbe River, fascinated me since my childhood. Over the years, a deep connection to this magnificent landscape in eastern Germany has developed and I create a large-scale wall calendar of this national park every year.
