Hans-Helmut Esser

to the home page

Hans Helmut Esser, a nature and wildlife photographer from Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, was infected with the "photography virus" at an early age. His photographic beginnings ranged from 35mm to medium format to plate cameras on an optical bench, with an initial focus on landscape photography. Over time, he developed an increasing interest in nature photography of the local animal world.

The darkroom technique also had a strong attraction for him. Self-taught in densitometry and the zone system, he achieved a consistently high quality in his photographs. He also shared his knowledge and skills as a lecturer.

Due to family and work commitments, he was unable to photograph intensively for a while. Since 2005, however, he has returned to his passion for nature photography, this time using digital technology.

Since August 1, 2009 he is a full member of the GDT (Gesellschaft für Naturfotografie e.V.), which underlines his commitment and recognition in the nature photography community.
