I'm Chris (@chris.zielecki), a professional photographer with a passion for the Nordic countries and portrait photography. I have been fascinated by Scandinavia and its rugged, barren landscapes since the early age of 16. I've travelled extensively in these regions, capturing their unique beauty and diversity with my camera. Today I am lucky enough to have been featured on various websites and magazines, and I also offer photo tours and workshops for those who wish to join me on my adventures.


More than a hobby

Photography has become more than a hobby for me; it's a way of life and a means of expression. I love creating authentic and emotional portraits of people who share my passion for adventure and individuality. Whether it's a couple in love, a family on holiday or a solo traveller exploring the world, I aim to capture their personality and story through my lens.

Elopement & Wedding Photography

That's why I also run a wedding photography business at sturmsucht.de (@sturmsucht), where I offer adventurous and intimate wedding photography for couples who want to celebrate their love in their own way. My style is natural, candid and artistic, and I always strive to create images that reflect the connection between two souls.

I am based in Germany, where I share my home and garden with the best cat in the world.

Let's work together

I hope you enjoy my portfolio and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or enquiries.
