The glow of the night; for Stefan there can hardly be anything more beautiful than standing alone in the desert at night and photographing the night sky. The physicist and internationally award-winning photographer travels the world for his photographs – always in search of breathtaking landscape motifs. With his images he wants to share his fascination for the night and show this magic new world, using his Sony Alpha cameras.
