Fabian, we are delighted to speak to you today. To begin with, could you briefly introduce yourself?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Hello, it is a pleasure for me too. I’m a\u00a026-year-old student from Schwarzwald and I’m currently studying Brand Design at the Design University in Hamburg, where I also spend most of my time during lecture periods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I have the time, I try to discover\u00a0and also\u00a0rediscover interesting places around Hamburg and through Germany. During my breaks, I mostly visit my family back home at the farmhouse I grew up at, or plan bigger tours through Europe with my car, not only to take landscape or adventure pictures, which are kind of my specialty but also to enjoy the great variety of nature that is all around us. That really inspires me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What lead you to start with photography? And travel\/landscape specifically?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, since I was a kid, I’ve always liked grabbing a camera and capturing things that interested me. As I already told you, I grew up at a farmhouse in the beautiful Schwarzwald, so practically nature was\u00a0my playground\u00a0for as long as\u00a0I can remember. It has always fascinated me deeply and I never lost interest in that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I turned 18 and bought my first own car, I started\u00a0road tripping\u00a0through Europe and also\u00a0had my camera always by my side. That’s\u00a0actually where\u00a0my journey on social media began a few years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You were one of the five winners of the Polestar competition in 2019. How was it to drive the Polestar 1 in Hamburg?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

It was honestly a new experience for me, in many ways. I was never really into sports cars since they are\u00a0not the most suitable for\u00a0offroad\u00a0terrain\u00a0and I do mostly photo tours through wild landscapes with rough and stony roads. Usually, I need to stick to another sort of car.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this experience,\u00a0I looked forward to driving such a different car in the city, and I have to admit, I\u00a0definitely\u00a0found joy in it. The Polestar 1 can run by electricity entirely. It gave me interesting and real insights regarding the technologies which I hope are the future of vehicles sooner than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
