Michael Schreiber says:
A scorpion glows with its young under the light of two UV lamps. After birth, the mother scorpion carries her young on her back and remains motionless in case of imminent or potential danger. The young remain on their backs for protection until their exoskeletons have hardened. Found on the dead wood of a fallen tree in Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, near Gorontalo, Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Michael’s love of nature and travel was fostered and encouraged by his parents from an early age. His enthusiasm for nature photography and videography initially served as a counterbalance to his work as an independent consultant and quickly complemented it. Michael runs several resorts in Indonesia and introduces guests of all ages to the wonders of nature, including through photography/video courses and workshops.
He strives for a sustainable and fair balance between economic interests and the demands of pristine nature.
You’ll find Michael working in all areas: From underwater expeditions to exploring the last remaining primeval forests on earth.
Michael’s work is regularly published in magazines, video productions, and competitions.
