MANFRED SUTER
WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER
Through the wilderness with my camera
​
For 35 years, nature has been my studio. What began as a hobby has long since become my greatest passion. For me, photography is not a job, but a true calling – a labour of love that currently takes me across southern Africa as a globetrotter.
​
In my work, I seek out the artistic moment: that special light, an unusual perspective, or a deep, unadulterated gaze. My aim is to create images that go beyond the purely documentary and encourage the viewer to pause and reflect.
​
Yet my images are meant to be more than just aesthetically pleasing. I want to raise awareness of the beauty and fragility of our planet. My commitment is deeply personal: thanks to my years of experience working with service dogs, the protection of the wilderness is particularly close to my heart.
​
The year 2025 marked a special milestone for me: using the proceeds from my image sales and lectures, I was able to sponsor an anti-poaching dog in Kruger National Park directly. It is my personal contribution to protecting those who have no voice of their own – a fusion of my professional roots with my current passion for African wildlife.
