About me
My name is Manuel Kokseder and you can usually find me in the mountains, a remote place or in a restaurant. For me, photography is the perfect balance to reality.
That's why I take photographs.
Through my photography, I want to fascinate people and show them the beauty of inconspicuous places on our planet. I am convinced that those who capture their lives in pictures become more aware of their surroundings. My vision is to create something that has never been seen before.
Through detailed images with true-to-life colors that unite all elements into a harmonious masterpiece of composition, the viewer is immediately captivated and allows his or her gaze to wander purposefully through the image. My pictures leave a lasting impression and inspire reflection.
As an award-winning photographer, I am able to amaze people with my pictures. I work with the highest level of professionalism and impress with my attention to detail. An essential part of my work is to share my knowledge with others and to realize joint projects.
I invite you to explore my portfolio and learn more about my journey, passion and work as a photographer.
Thank you for your support and interest.
