Wolfgang Fuchs searched for the most beautiful places in more than 150 countries. He also found his love for Provence.
The travel fever took hold of him early. As a five-year-old, he secretly packed up his things and set off to see the world. “But I didn’t get further than my neighbor then,” laughs Wolfgang Fuchs.
Family life dream
Meanwhile, the Styrian has turned his thirst for adventure into a career and has traveled to more than 150 countries as a photographer. Always with him: his camera. “It has always been a great desire to travel around a lot, it’s just in me,” says the 60-year-old, who is living his dream with his wife Roswitha and daughter Jasmin.
Treasures of nature in front of the lens
While photography allows Fuchs to give free rein to his creativity and constantly gains new impressions, he and his family also get to know other cultures. “It’s a privilege and it’s all I’ve ever wanted.” The trio is on the road for more than half of the year. Fuchs documents the unique treasures of nature. He wants to capture “the special” in his photos.
Start new lectures
With these observations and snapshots he also talks about the nature of the world, which he wants to share with as many people as possible in multimedia lectures. “I’m about to embark on my spring tour, which will focus on a region of incredible appeal.”
From lavender fields to villages and flamingos
I mean Provence. When Fuchs talks about her, he gets excited. “I experienced real Western flair on a ranch in America, got married on a mountain lake in Canada and spent many months in New Zealand, but I really fell in love with Provence.”
Captures the “soul of the region”.
On his journey there he captured endless fields of lavender, lost on the horizon with sunflowers and poppies, as well as medieval mountain villages with rippling fountains and the largest population of flamingos in Europe. “I tried to capture the soul of this region,” says Fuchs and talks about a dream in violet, which he will present in Styria until the end of March. He and his family want to make the myths of different countries visible for as long as possible. What drives him on? “The best encouragement is still the enthusiasm of the people at our lectures.”
