Andrea Baechstaedt Photography

Mechanical engineer by profession and passionate rock climber in my free time – photographer, drone pilot and photography designer certified by SGD.
I love to travel and to chase the most beautiful light or the most beautiful stars in the night.

My DSLR “career” started in 2015 with a Nikon D3200. After being commited to photography very much for about 2 years I switched in 2017 to a D500 eventually.

(Un)fortunately I became more and more fascinated by night sky photography which lead to the inevitable full frame Nikon D850 in 2019 and now (thx to my awarded picture by Nikon Female Facets) to a brandnew Z8.

The D850 is still deeply loved and in use until today.

Regarding the lenses I went for the “big three” Nikkors. 14-24; 24-70 and 70-200 all f2.8. Adding some fixed focal distance lenses especially for the night sky photography.

Over the last 3 years my “family” grew bigger and bigger, including 2 DJI drones and an action cam and – not to forget – the EASA drone licences A1/3 and A2.

Please note, the pictures here just show an overview of my work and they are in reduced quality to achieve short loading times of the pages.
