the michael donadel

mostly puts architecture and athletes in the right light for his clients, besides that he realizes projects in the fields of nature and music.

born in tyrol in 1977, his father and some of his friends awakened his interest in photography at a very early age. so he grabbed his father's manual SLR before he even started his apprenticeship as a draftsman and from then on mainly captured his exploratory tours in the tyrolean mountains on film.

during his apprenticeship, his interest in photography became a fascination. soon he acquired his own camera and worked intensively with it. in order to learn more and exchange ideas with others, he joined the local photo club in 1994. there he met nice, helpful people, exposed black and white prints in the darkroom for nights on end and participated very successfully in photo competitions. thanks to new contacts, michael was on the road during this time as a photo reporter for local newspapers, later as a sports and music photographer for international magazines. due to the exciting, entertaining life, time flew by.

in 2004 he moved to switzerland, married his girlfriend katja, and started his own business as a photographer in 2006. katja regularly accompanies him on photo shoots and shares his enthusiasm for -activities. their current explorations take them to architecturally interesting buildings, action-packed sporting events or remote landscapes.
