Sports and
nature photography.

Motion and stillness. Sports, nature and wildlife by Max Kolleritsch from Munich.

Approach

My work lives between a fraction of a second and the light of an entire morning. I photograph what moves — and what remains.

Whether it's a sprint across the pitch, the light along Iceland's coast or the quiet observation of a bird in the first morning light, it always comes down to the same thing: attention. Look closely and you'll recognise the moment a glimpse becomes an image. I bring that readiness to every shoot — with patience, experience and respect for people, animals and landscapes.

    Sports photography in Munich and the surrounding area: motion, energy and genuine moments — from the pitch to the next competition.

    From the local league pitch to competition: Whether SpVgg Unterhaching or TSV Grünwald: I photograph football and sport the way the moments feel — fast, up close and with an eye for emotion, duels and team spirit. The images are made for clubs, athletes and media.

  • Nature

    Landscapes and special light — from Iceland's coastlines to the Milky Way.

    Iceland's black beaches, the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon or the Milky Way above a mountain ridge: in nature photography I look for moods that can't be staged — light, space and silence take centre stage.

  • Wildlife

    Wild animals observed up close and told quietly — patience, respect and the right moment.

    Photographing wildlife means waiting, observing and respecting. Birds are the focus — from the kingfisher to the common buzzard. The result is images that show closeness without disturbing the animals.

About

Max Kolleritsch

My name is Max Kolleritsch, born and raised in Munich. Photography has been part of my life for about two years — what started as enthusiasm quickly became a real passion. To develop my own standards professionally, I completed a distance-learning degree in photo design.

As a former competitive athlete and long-time fitness enthusiast, I have a special connection to sports photography. My own athletic background has taught me the decisive moments, movements and perspectives that make the difference between an image that merely documents a situation and one that truly conveys the dynamics and intensity of sport. Those are the moments I want to capture.

My second great passion is wildlife photography. I'm particularly fascinated by birds and predators, but the entire animal world inspires me. For me it's less about staging and more about patience, observation and being ready at the right moment.

Whether it's speed and emotion in sport or a fleeting moment in nature — my goal is to create images that don't just show what happened, but let you feel what that moment was like.
