Lorenz Holder grew up in Munich, close to the Bavarian mountains, and it is those mountains that have always played a major role in his life. Lorenz was a semi-professional snowboarder back in the day, until he injured himself badly and he pretty much had to quit snowboarding for a whole season in 2003. In that time Lorenz discovered the pleasure of photography for himself. Lorenz was fascinated by photos that could describe a whole scene, a whole story or even a whole day, in just one small moment caught on film. This fascination was one of the biggest motivations for him to start his career as a professional photographer.
"In my photos I like to show the viewers a different angle, something they normally wouldn’t notice, even if they were there at the scene. I might use colorful flashes, different camera angles or tilt and shift lenses – always trying to capture something a bit different. On the other hand, I also love the documentary style; simple black and white documentary is something very real.“

El Rocío, belonging to the municipality of Almonte (Huelva). Next to this small town is the Doñana National
Park, one of the most important wetlands in Europe, made up of various ecosystems that concentrate
extraordinary biodiversity. This place is what made Francisco interested in the wildlife that inhabits it, especially the
birds that visit this space every year and of course the Iberian Lynx, the most endangered feline on the
planet. This has been one of the places where it has resided and the species has been able to be recover to
this day. Francisco has also traveled to different parts of the planet, spending time and photographing the wildlife that can be found in those other regions.

Currently, Fransisco is collaborating with the image bank of the Doñana Natural Area, which are used for the
dissemination and awareness of today's society. Also, he has participated as a jury in different
photographic contests, as well as having been lucky enough to win some of them and receive different
mentions in others. But his biggest goal will always remain the creation of awareness for the conservation of
the planet.
