About

Marc STEICHEN

I grew up in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg’s “Wild West.” Since I was a young child, I have been exploring the woods and fields around my village to discover nature and its inhabitants. At the age of fifteen, I acquired my first reflex camera and gradually taught myself the basics of photography.
Capturing the local wildlife on film quickly became second nature to me. Almost two decades have passed since I started practicing nature photography, I have devoted the majority of my free time to nature photography, which for me is the ideal way to express my creativity and to raise awareness amongst people about the wonders and fragility of Mother Nature.
As a science teacher, I try to understand the essence of nature, as a nature and wildlife photographer, I try to capture its beauty, as a father, I want to share its beauty with my children and hope that my images help to shape the awareness that we are all part of the same living nature.
My photos are regularly featured in solo and group exhibitions. They are published in specialised nature magazines and have been awarded in international competitions (European Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Glanzlichter, Montier, Namur, Asferico, Montphoto).
