Hunting Photography and Wildlife Adventures
Behind the Lens with Michael Stadtfeld
I get into a rush especially in moments when unique situations happen. Capturing this „decisive moment“ drives me every day with inner joy.
This type of passion allows me to spend around 200 days in nature every year. With my pictures, I try to bring people closer to my passion for hunting, wild animals and life in the outdoors.
