REFLECTIONS OF LIFE – MANFRED BAUMANN

From Bond to Hollywood legends! I have the great advantage of being able to see and experience my life multiple times—through my eyes, my camera, my books, exhibitions, and photos. James Bond alias Sir Roger Moore discovered me and once said that my Leica is my paintbrush and that I paint with it. He introduced me to the world of Hollywood, to legends like Tony Curtis or Kirk Douglas.

Photography is my calling; I love the diverse worlds it encompasses. That's why I enjoy photographing wild horses or buffalos for National Geographic just as much as observing people on the street. I continually immerse myself in different worlds with my muse and wife! Photography and storytelling are my calling! - Baumann
