About René

Born in Hamburg Germany, I moved to the US in 1985 after a brief visit to California's San Francisco Bay Area. My formal education is in Electrical Engineering and Bio Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA.
 

I took up photography as a means to record my caving and rock climbing adventures - two of my favorite activities while attending school.

To this day I still enjoy the outdoors more than ever, photographing landscapes, adventure, travel, and outdoor sports.

Although I love to travel and photograph wherever I go, I have always been fascinated with the wide-open wilderness of the American West; the great mountain ranges, forests, and the unique desert landscapes.  After living in the Southeast for 15 years, in 2004 I moved to the mountains of Colorado, where I currently reside.

 


Please look around. I hope you enjoy my images as much as I enjoy capturing them.

Evergreen, Colorado
