My real name is Stefan Krause.
I live in the state of Saarland in Germany.
Photography is my passion.
All started in 1981 with the purchase of a Canon AE1.
The fascination of photography has not left me to this day.
For work as a photographer, I use a Nikon D700 with
different lenses, with focal lengths of 12-500mm.
I always make my shots in Nikon RAW format (NEV).
for image management and RAW processing, I use the program "Adobe Lightroom"
