I love the shape of this tree with its roots, depending on the water level it stands more or less in the water. The tree was photographed in winter and has the appearance of an insect due to the missing leaves.

Driven by her fascination for photography and design, the Munich based French-German photographer Sonia Aumiller (born 1971) completed her studies at the University of Applied Arts in Paris with a mélange of skills. From learning how to develop analog film to sharpening her sense of image composition and colour, she eventually opted to specialise in design and embarked on a career in fashion that spanned twenty years. She retreated from the fast-paced, cut-throat world of fashion to devote her artistic passion entirely to photography.
