Photography and traveling: These two insatiable passions have been with me for over 30 years now and I am extremely happy that I made both passions my profession in 2005! I am now known far beyond the borders of my home country as a “photo man” . Even in the Seychelles I am called “photo man” by many locals… 🙂

When I am asked about my favorite travel destinations, the names of sun-drenched island paradises immediately come to mind: French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, the Maldives and of course the much-loved Seychelles – these are my very own personal paradises that I love to travel to time and time again!

At the end of the 1980s, I first became aware of the German photographer Michael Friedel, born in 1935, who achieved world fame with his photographs of the world’s most beautiful beaches. His photographs awakened the travel bug in me. I wanted to explore such beautiful destinations myself and bring home equally beautiful photographs. Already during my first trip, I realized that with my simple “camera box” and the very limited photographic knowledge I had at the time, I could not bring back the pictures I wanted and began to immerse myself intensively in the infinite and incredibly fascinating subject of photography.

A few years and several hundred thousand releases later, my own photographs of the world’s most beautiful beaches were exhibited and have been distributed throughout Europe ever since. In 2005 I photographed the wedding of good friends on Mallorca – and since that day I have not only been obsessed with the island, but also with weddings! I had discovered my great passion!

A short time later, I turned my biggest hobby into a profession and have photographed more than 600 weddings (as of July 2024) on four continents to date. I photograph weddings in the Seychelles particularly often, because my unconventional and relaxed visual language, in which – and I quote a very dear bride whose wedding I was allowed to photograph on La Digue, probably the most beautiful island in the Seychelles, “the bride and groom and the landscape blend so perfectly with each other and radiate with the sun that every picture is immediately recognizable as a ‘real Dickmann'” has ensured that I now accompany many weddings in the Seychelles as a photographer (and on request also as an interpreter, travel consultant and “island guide”). I now photograph far more weddings in the Seychelles than I do at home in Germany. I now spend about 5 months a year in the Seychelles (about 90% of this time on the beautiful island of La Digue) and I just can’t get enough of my dream islands!
