Manuel Kottersteger’s imagery lives in magazines, global campaigns, travel books, and on countless screens - always marked by a love for nature and a cinematic sense of timing.
Whether documenting outdoor athletes, remote places, or quiet human moments, his work blends raw emotion with visual clarity. His style is instinctive, calm, and deeply personal - turning movement into meaning, light into story.
Rooted in the Alps and shaped by the rhythm of nature, Manu brings authenticity to every project. A deep passion for storytelling drives both his photography and film work, whether he’s shooting international campaigns or hiking through the mountains with his Leica.
His approach is honest. His eye is fast. And the result: imagery that feels as true as the moment itself.
