About me

My name is Frank Gruber and I was born in northern Germany in the mid-sixties. My interest in nature photography stems on the one hand from ornithological excursions with my brother and on the other hand from photography as a school subject. With my first camera and the first long lens, I first took pictures of animals on slide film around my parents’ home. A long time later, when I was working, I got my first photographic equipment with an autofocus camera. Over the years, I was able to expand my equipment further and I was also able to go on my first European photo trips. This made it possible for me to capture the macro world in pictures. Back then, his photo destinations were the Camargue in southern France, the bird cliffs of Scotland, Sweden’s sunny island of Öland and Texel in the Netherlands.

This was later followed by trips to South Florida and Canada to the Rocky Mountains and its national parks. Today I mainly photograph in my home country of northern Germany. But every now and then I’m still drawn to other European countries to take photos.

Since 2002 I have been a member of the Society for Nature Photography (GDT).

My particular interest in nature photography is in native mammals and our feathered friends. With my pictures I want to capture the experience of nature and at the same time show its beauty in order to promote an understanding of nature and its preservation.
