Katja Seidel - Landschafts- und Astrofotografie

Katja Seidel is a passionate landscape and astrophotographer. She uses her camera to capture the beauty of the night sky and nature. She was born in East Germany in 1981 and now lives near Braunschweig in Lower Saxony.

She had her first experience with photography at the tender age of 18. At that time, analogue cameras were still the norm. This early experience left its mark on her and has allowed her to work more consciously and purposefully to this day. Despite her training as a media IT specialist and many years of demanding work as an IT consultant, she has never given up her passion for photography. On the contrary, she has managed to turn the wonderful combination of technology, creativity and nature into her profession.

It is not only the nocturnal nature that fascinates her, but also the possibility of achieving impressive results with simple means. She enjoys planning the shots as much as taking them. But the best part for Katja is being able to use her camera to make the visually invisible visible and share it with others. This likeable photographer goes on exciting expeditions as often as she can. She captures the wonders of our planet and even brings us closer to the wonders of the vastness of the universe with her astrophotography.

Katja uses a variety of channels to share her knowledge and enthusiasm. In addition to her website, she shares her expertise in her book Astrofotografie – Spektakuläre Bilder ohne Spezialausrüstung and in her workshops. She has also published articles and images in c't-Fotografie and Astronomie - Das Magazin. Interesting and informative videos with Katja can be found on YouTube. Her aim is to show that it is possible to take fascinating pictures without expensive specialist equipment and that the beauty of the night sky and nature is accessible to everyone.
