I always want
to perfect my
pictures.
It’s the
driving force behind my work.
Christian Dandyk
Waiting for the perfect combination of light and clouds. For the perfect moment to take the shot. It’s
what forces the otherwise impatient Christian Dandyk to practice patience when shooting landscapes.
The Berlin native doesn’t want to think about his equip­ment. He just wants it to perform without limits, even in the worst weather conditions. With the right quality
and the right equipment, his work is pure enjoy­ment. And that’s the case with ZEISS Batis lenses.
