Felix Heintzenberg was born in 1971 in Lübeck/Germany and moved to Lund in Sweden in 1995 to study biology. Felix started wildlife photography in 1986. He works mainly in large scale projects that often result in books. By now he has published some six books about wildlife, like “Nocturnal wildlife”, “Owls”, “the Arctic” and a few others. Three of them have been awarded with prestigious literature prizes in Sweden. Felix has also won prizes and honorable mentionings in different wildlife photo competitions lite the BBC Wildlife photographer of the year, GDT European Wildlife photographer of the year… He still lives in Lund, has a 13-year old daughter and works full time as a teacher for upper secondary school.

The talk is about camera trap photography of lynx in the forests of southern Sweden. It is a personal journey that has been going on for more than six years now and that still continues. The audience will follow my journey from the first idea to photograph lynx to the first successes and to the final award-winning photograph. It is all about inspiration and passion and to follow your dreams.
