My name is Anette Mossbacher, and I am a nature photographer with a deep-seated interest in the natural world. https://anettemossbacher.com/about-anette-mossbacher/ It has been my life’s work to photograph wildlife species, and majestic landscapes, on virtually every continent of the Earth. Some of my favorite memories include photographing the orangutan in the verdant rainforests, capturing images of lions and majestic elephants proudly strolling the African savannah, and getting up close and personal with polar bears in the Arctic Sea.
