Hello! I am Judith...
I would like to call myself an “ambitious amateur photographer”. My main focus is nature and landscape photography, but I also like to make detours to other genres.
Everything I know about photography is self-educated. A few books here, some internet research there, inspiration from the works of other photographers and a lot, really a lot of trying things out has brought me to where I am today.
My great happiness is my home on beautiful Lake Constance, where I have a lot of photo spots right on my doorstep and the way to the Austrian, Swiss and Italian Alps is not too far. I also love to travel to more exotic destinations on my vacation, with the north being particularly appealing to me.

Golden Cone BY Juan Lopez Ruiz
Our Second Place Winner was submitted by
Juan Lopez Ruiz from Madrid, Spain
Juan Lopez Ruiz from Madrid, Spain
From the instant I discovered photography, I was fascinated by the ability to capture and preserve the magic of those unique moments that only nature can offer. In 2017, with my first digital SLR camera in hand, I began an exciting journey full of learning and dedication towards this art form that inspires me every day. I am completely self-taught and have invested countless hours in understanding light, perfecting my technique and exploring the endless possibilities of digital editing. For me, each image is much more than just a simple capture; it is a personal expression where the editing becomes a creative extension of what I wish to convey. Although my main focus is landscape photography, I enjoy venturing into other genres such as architecture and wildlife photography. These experiences have enriched my vision, allowing me to discover beauty in diverse forms and settings. Every time I look through the viewfinder, my goal is to invite you to look at the world from another perspective, to stop and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us, and, above all, to connect with the natural and human environment we all share.
