Klaus Warter

Nature photographer for twenty-five years

His main area of activity has been Alaska where he has made more than thirty trips since the first in 1981, almost all of which were “off the beaten path”. He spends several months each year, together with his wife, in the wilderness. Transportation is by means of light planes and small boats and a tent is his home. His favorite subjects are brown bears, many trips led into the Katmai National Park and Preserve. Another area of activity is northern Europe including Spitzbergen. Additional trips have led to Kenya, Tanzania, Mongolia, Japan, Argentina and Chile

His photographs have been used in presentations as well as being published in books,calendars and magazines. They have been carried by several agencies.

He works with Canon EOS 5 D and 40 D including the use of lenses ranging from 17 to 500 mm as well as extenders, Gitzo tripods.

Waltraut "Toni" Warter

Called "Toni" in America (because it's easier to pronounce!), she has accompanied me on many trips as "Secretary, Assistant and Camp Cook". Travelling together is not only more pleasant, there are a lot of advantages in having an attentive companion present. In bear country, heightened senses count and Mother Nature is a good teacher for man and beast where respectful dealings with one another are concerned.
