My Name is Manuel Polak

As a kid, skating was my big passion and I was quite good at it. I loved it so much that I wanted to record myself and take cool pictures doing that. That is where my photography journey began. As soon as I saved enough money, I got my first camera and started taking snapshots and filming my friends doing stunts. A few years later I had the chance to do a whole lot of photo shoots with models and learn a lot about portraits and Adobe programms. During this time I also developed a PhotoBooth, which clients could rent for events. While delivering photobooths throughout Austria, I have seen many spectacular landscapes and beautiful villages and cities. I enjoyed being outside and seeing nature from another point of view. And that is when I decided to change everything and do landscape photography. I love hiking and sometimes I need to go for a couple of hours to reach the perfect spot to take a breathtaking picture. While capturing nature in it‘s beautiful environment, I also do everything I can to protect the wild life and support different organizations that have that as their mission.
