About
Sebastian Knoll is a 30-year-old award-winning astrophotographer from Salzburg (Austria). He tries to capture breathtaking images and videos of the night sky and nature. His primary focus is on the Milky Way and Landscapes, but he also focuses on creating Time-Lapses.
He loves spending time in the mountains, often choosing high-altitude locations for unique photos and time-lapse scenes. His custom-built camera slider helps create smooth motion that enhances his time-lapse work.
During his travels — including a one-year journey through New Zealand and Australia — he refined his craft and expanded his expertise. His work has been featured in a printed magazine, widely shared online, and he has successfully sold several prints and videos.
He is currently planning new projects and destinations to push his creativity further, gain new experiences and connect with like-minded photographers. You are welcome to join him on future adventures, collaborate on ideas, or join one of his astrophotography workshops.
My job:
I am employed as a university assistant at the Institute for Automation and Control in the Technical University of Graz. Currently, I am working towards my PhD in Chemical Process Automation while also taking up teaching duties. I conduct classes for both bachelor and master courses in automation and control.
Other Hobbies:
During my free time, I enjoy programming. I primarily focus on full-stack web development, but I also work on projects involving Python, embedded systems, and C#. One notable programming project I have worked on is this website to showcase my photos and videos.
Sport:
If I can motivate myself, I enjoy volleyball, jogging, and bouldering. Moreover, as previously stated, I enjoy hiking or engaging in via ferrata activities.
