ABOUT ME

My name is Jakob Sahner, and I am an astrophotographer from the Black Forest. I grew up in the area around Freiburg in a small town in the Markgräflerland region. 

I stumbled into photography by chance, and now I do it out of passion! I started in 2017 when I was training to become a photo and media technical assistant. At first, I had no connection to astrophotography, but when I was searching for photography tutorial videos on YouTube and a video on astrophotography was suggested to me, I was immediately hooked.

Shortly afterwards, I tried to take pictures of the starry sky. This allowed me to gain initial experience and make mistakes, and learn from them. On my journey, I have learned a lot, met many people, and visited many places, from Iceland to the Alps to La Palma (Canary Islands), and there are still many places on my list!
