At the age of 16 I bought my first SLR. Fascinating nature was my favorite motiv at the beginning. As time went by my variaty grew. Today, there is nature as well as people(portrait and nude), HDR(high dynamic range) and architecture in my portfolio.

The Aviator
As a navy pilot there are a lot of extraordinary perspectives to see.
Since 1990 helicopterpilot in the Navel Air Wing 5, serving in the search and rescue service. As pilot in the navy there are often beautiful moments over the north- and the balticsea. Mostly with the camera on duty, I am trying to capture this special moment.
As a „moment seeker with a sure flair and a good eye“ -
Thomas Weinknecht from the Stadtsparkasse Cuxhaven named the photographer Sönke Nielsen when he held the opening speech on behalf of the board at the opening of the exhibition.
- "go through the world with open eyes and consciously perceive everyday things"
- "In the processing of his pictorial material, he is mainly strictly purist."
- "Fascinating shapes, colors and structures as a result do not leave the viewer unimpressed"
