In daily life, I am a biochemist working on the preservation of animal sperm. As a hobby, I make photos and digital images of Allium flowers and other parts of Allium species.
I am extremely fascinated by Allium, also known as the onion family. The Allium family has about a thousand species and the variation in shape and color of the flowers is enormous. I try to capture as many species as possible through photography. In addition, I want to make eye-catching photos or digital compositions. I publish my photos on my own website so that others can take note of them. In this way, I want to promote knowledge about Allium among a wider audience. It's a hobby that got out of hand but that is not a problem because it is a lot of fun work. I grow the plants myself, but I also visit breeders and growers. In the future, I want to visit botanical gardens worldwide to expand my database.
