Swiss wildlife photographer specializing in European fauna, expert in automated devices and naturalistic scenes.

Daniel Zuppinger is a Swiss wildlife photographer whose work focuses on the wildlife of Europe, particularly in the Jura and Alps mountain ranges. He uses automated trigger systems to capture elusive species in their natural environment. This method relies on expertise combining field observation, behavioral study, and the implementation of technical solutions adapted to shooting conditions in natural environments.

He documents species such as the Eurasian lynx, wolf, beaver, stone marten, and tawny owl, with particular attention to the biological accuracy of the scenes photographed. Each image is the result of rigorous preparatory work: locating passageways, discreetly installing equipment, and carefully managing environmental parameters.

Daniel Zuppinger's images are used in print publications, educational projects, and biodiversity awareness campaigns. His approach aims to produce an accurate and documented representation of European wildlife, with a view to promoting scientific and naturalistic appreciation of species and their habitats.
