Animal Photography
Capturing Personality
Whether loyal companion, majestic horse or cuddly cat – every animal has its very own character, and that’s exactly what I want to capture. I take all the time needed so your beloved pet feels comfortable and can be completely themselves. The result: natural, emotional images that will make you smile for years to come. Because let’s be honest – our four-legged friends deserve the best photos in the world.

Dog Photography
Your dog isn’t just a pet, but your best friend, your soulmate on four paws? Then they deserve photos that show exactly that. Whether it’s the loyal gaze, the wild romping through the forest or the content snoozing on the couch – I capture the big and small moments that make your dog so special. And yes: I bring the treats myself.
Horse Photography
The bond between human and horse is something truly special – powerful, elegant and full of trust. Whether in the paddock, on a ride or in the golden evening light: I capture these unique moments. With patience and calm, so your horse feels comfortable in front of the camera too. The images will be as expressive as the animals themselves.
Cats, Small Animals & More
Cats, rabbits, birds or even a very special pet – every animal is welcome. Tell me about your pet and their quirks, and we'll plan a shoot together that suits you. Whether in the studio with a stylish backdrop or outdoors in nature – the main thing is your pet feels comfortable and the photos are unique.
GET INSPIRED
"I had a photoshoot last weekend together with my dog, and what can I say… the pictures turned out absolutely beautiful! 😍 I especially love the natural style that doesn’t look over-edited and still appears really professional. I’m super happy with the result and can truly recommend a shoot with Mario to everyone. You definitely won’t regret it! I also want to highlight the pleasant atmosphere. Thanks to Mario’s humorous and friendly manner, you feel comfortable right away, which makes the photos even more authentic. 📸🐾"

TIPS
How to prepare
Be patient
Animals need time to feel comfortable. Plan enough buffer – stress is the enemy of great photos.
Choose favorite spot
Where does your pet feel most at home? The favorite park, forest or your garden – it shows in the photos.
Golden hour
The best light is in the morning or evening. I recommend shoots 1–2 hours before sunset.
Don't forget treats
Small rewards ensure attention and happy faces – your pet will love it.
FAQ
Animal Photography FAQ
How does a shoot with you actually work?
We discuss the schedule, location and your wishes in advance. On the day itself, I stay in the background and capture the most important moments and many small details. You get simple, natural directions so you never feel stiff or unsure.
Do you help with choosing the location?
Yes, gladly. I know many spots in Tyrol, Bavaria and the mountains and can suggest suitable locations depending on light, season and schedule. What's important to me is that you feel comfortable there and we have enough peace.
How much time should I plan for a shoot?
For a relaxed couple or portrait shoot, I usually plan 30 to 45 minutes. If you want multiple locations or we're heading to the mountains, a bit more time may be useful.
What should I bring to the shoot?
Really just yourself and a good mood. If you want, you can incorporate small personal items like letters, memorabilia or special accessories. More important are comfortable shoes for walks between locations.
Do you give directions during the shoot?
I give you plenty of space to be yourself and only provide light guidance for lighting, posture or movement. You get simple, natural directions so you never feel stiff or unsure.
What if I'm nervous in front of the camera?
Almost everyone feels that way. After a few minutes, you usually forget about the camera. Through my calm nature, small tasks and movement, the shoot feels more like a walk than a stiff photo session.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain is no problem, great photos can be taken in any weather. We look for sheltered spots, use available light or flexibly reschedule the shoot slightly. I always have ideas for Plan B and C in mind.
Shoot for your beloved pet?
Just reach out – tell me about your pet and we'll find the perfect setup for your shoot together. I look forward to your furry, feathery and hoofed friends!
