Hello I am

Ralph Mittermaier

Passionate photographer from South Tyrol

I live in Soprabolzano on the Renon, near Bolzano, the capital of the Italian province of South Tyrol. In my free time I spend a lot of time in the idyllic Valley of Braies, a small side valley of the Alta Pusteria Valley, which owes its fame to a beautiful Dolomites mountain lake, the Lago di Braies Lace.

In the photography, I find a creative balance to my rather technical professional life and an motivation to spend my free time outdoors, in nature.

Photography is also an encouragement to spend my free time outdoors, regardless of the weather condition and the season. As a famous photographer said before:

“There is no bad weather for taking pictures, only poorly dressed and equipped photographers.”

The unique beauty of the South Tyrolean landscape and the mountains offers endless motifs and lighting moods at any time of the year. I often prefer to enjoy the special moment rather than miss it by taking pictures, because:

“What I have experienced is more valuable to me than any picture.”
