Yannick Wilkesmann

Born and raised in Switzerland, a deep connection to nature and its habitants has been part of my life from the beginning. The first childhood memories I own are from hikes in the Swiss alps. Through that I developed interest in nature and animal behavior at a young age.

I purchased my first camera at 15, from then on (and still going) it was my dream to capture imagery of natures beauty around the globe. In the following years I gained experiences in the harshest environments of the arctic and antarctic, working from boats, cars and drones. The more time I spent outside, the more photos I’ve taken the more interested I got in wildlife, photography and filmmaking.
