Find out more about Philipp Steiger

Philipp, where are you from and where do you live now?

I grew up in a small town near Ingolstadt, more precisely in the nature park Altmühltal in Beilngries, surrounded by a lot of nature. I still live there today.
How would you describe your artistic style?

I’m always looking for the perfect foreground. My pictures should convey the mood as I was able to enjoy it myself on the spot.
What's on top of your bucket list (as an artist or just as a person)?

To see as much of the world as possible, to get to know different cultures, to be free and to enjoy the time in the best possible way.
Analogue or digital?

I grew up in the 90s, I would prefer the digital version.
New York or remote mountain hut?

100% for the mountain hut, or a small hut on the beach.
Becks or Merlot?

Neither, but a well cooled beer from Bavaria ;)
And a little Proust: What is your idea of perfect happiness?

I don’t need that much to be happy, it is enough to escape the stress of everyday life. A mattress in my car (or my tent), my camera and off to nature!
Which living person do you most admire?

My whole family.
What do you consider the most overrated virtue?

Working and sleeping in an endless loop. Life is more than just work.
What or who is the greatest love of your life?

My girlfriend and, of course, my camera.;)
If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?

As an aboriginal in New Zealand.
The world needs more...

peace, honesty and humanity. More sensitivity and consideration for nature and people.
I’ve changed my mind about…

good and healthy food.
What most people don't understand is that…

we have all the only one planet and every human is the same.
