Walter Schmitt is a passionate photographer living in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. His interest in photography already started in his youth. As a scientist with a PhD in physics, he continued with ambitious photography in his spare time, mainly during vacation and travels, for a long time. After retirering a few years ago he is now able to make photography the primary activity. His favourite subjects are natural and urban landscapes, often focussing on details with a tendency to abstraction.
