My name is Attila Kobori and I'm a nature photographer based in Vienna, Austria. I was born in 1992 and at the age of 5 I became interested in wild animals, especially reptiles. Since then I have been trying to spend as much time as possible in the field looking for these fascinating creatures. My parents are not biologists and as my early trips were restricted to family holidays, I was mostly on my own exploring thorny mediterranean shrublands while the others would relax on the beach. I never skipped an opportunity to observe the lizards in the backyard of my grandparent's house, kept turning stones wherever I went and collected snakes I found dead on roads. When I was 10, I got my first camera, a point-and-shoot with film. This opened new possibilities and I discovered a passion for documenting my observations through photography. As a teenager I found people who would join me on my short afternoon hikes and the photo collection grew. Later at the age of 16 I got my first DSLR and joined the Austrian Society for Herpetology. During trips to a variety of habitats in Austria and Croatia I had the opportunity to collect experience about wildlife in general whilst keeping reptiles and amphibians my main field. I became more and more serious about photography, the gear got heavier and I felt it was time to take on trips of a larger scale. After graduating from school I started my studies in biology at the University of Vienna and found some like minded people who have been great company on numerous photography trips. Since then I have visited many exotic places in search of fascinating wildlife and new perspectives. I travelled to the humid rainforests of Costa Rica, India, Thailand and Malaysia, explored the hot deserts in Morocco and revisited the thorny mediterranean shrublands many times, trying my best to capture the incredible complexity and beauty of these ecosystems. As the quality of the images increased I began participating in photography contests. My objective is to show people that many little known animals and their habitats can be just as majestic, beautiful and important as any flagship species and deserve conservation on the same level.
