About

Sebastian Knoll

Sebastian Knoll is a 28-year-old award-winning hobby astrophotographer from Salzburg (Austria) who tries to capture breathtaking images and videos of the night sky and nature since 2019. His primary focus is on the Milky Way and Landscapes, but he also focuses on creating time-lapses.


He enjoys being in the mountains and often seeks out high-altitude spots for his photos and time-lapses. Moreover, his self-made camera slider comes in handy when movement is essential for a time-lapse.


During his various trips, including a one-year journey in New Zealand and Australia, he was able to enhance his skills and further develop his photography proficiency. As a result, he was able to publish his work in a printed magazine, receive numerous references throughout social media and the internet, and even sell several prints and videos.


He has several planned projects and destinations to visit, as he aims to further improve his skills, gain new experiences and meet new like-minded people. You are welcome to join him on any of his adventures, reach out to him for ideas, or attend one of his astrophotography workshops if you are interested in becoming an astrophotographer yourself.
