Bernd Ritschel, born in 1963 in Wolfratshausen, Upper Bavaria, has been traveling the mountains and continents of the world for over 25 years. Many expeditions to the Himalayas, Alaska, the Andes and the Arctic have taken him to peaks over 7000 meters. The passionate extreme mountaineer became an enthusiastic and successful professional photographer, including mountain and alpine photography. His many years of mountain experience allow him to realize even difficult assignments under extreme conditions. Advertising photography in the high mountains for clients such as Gore Tex, Schöffel, Lowa and The North Face is part of his everyday work. His photographs have been published in over 80 calendars and well-known magazines such as Geo, Stern, Geo Saison, Abenteuer & Reisen, ADAC Specials, in almost all European ski and mountain magazines and in over 20 illustrated books such as Dolomiten, Klettersteige, Berge im Licht, the Lehrbuch Fotografie or in the illustrated book Bergfotografie. Bernd Ritschel is one of the best-known mountain and outdoor photographers in Central Europe today.
