What defines your style as a photographer?

I always strive to capture some epic moment with extraordinary light and background.

What was your best and your worst experience as a photographer?

Once I had to jump from the boat which broke down while we were shooting big waves. We were drifting into the big jacking wave and the only chance to safe yourself was to jump into the sea with a naked camera in my hand. The boat got smashed on the reef and we lost all the gear except the camera which I was holding in my hand entire swim back to shore. I eventually rescued all photos from the flooded camera it took a while to dry the card but after two weeks on the radiator, it started to work. SanDisk Rocks.
