title
Kalahari_into the white
My idea was to portray the situation as simply and clearly as possible photographically, which is why the picture is in black and white, to create a truly minimalistic image.
She has been traveling the world with her Nikon many years, in search for beautiful and remote places, always looking for adventure and wildlife in order to highlight the beauty and fragility of nature through her images.
In her photography she aims to show the uniquness of nature and every single living individual, be it human or animal, to point out how beautiful, valuable and unique our living space is,
and to create awarness that we should definitely treat it with more respect and kindness_to preserve and protect it for future generations.
Her passion for african wildlife startet while joining a photography project in Zimbabwe, where she learned about human wildlife conflicts and discorved how endagered so many species are and how critical their situation is.
Sabine sees the animals, as they truly are, deep emotional, thinking and conscious beeings with so many different personalities_ that´s why she loves to portray their animal personalities.
Photography keeps her searching, developing and creating_ as a tool of life.

entry description
The picture was taken in a salt pan in the Kalahari Desert, Namibia. On that day there was a sandstorm with little visibility in a desert characterized by fine white sand and hundreds of kilometers of loneliness, when suddenly, out of nowhere, these desert horses crossed my path. These animals are adapted to these extreme living conditions and defy any adversity, running for miles to the nearest possible watering hole. For me, it is a miracle of nature that animals have those fantastic abilities.My idea was to portray the situation as simply and clearly as possible photographically, which is why the picture is in black and white, to create a truly minimalistic image.
