Bernhard Edmaier is a German geologist, photographer and author of geoscientific books.
“TUM had a good reputation at the high school I was attending”, Bernhard Edmaier explains his choice for this university. “And last but not least, it was close to the Alps for white water rafting, hiking and ski touring.”
In 1977 Bernhard Edmaier enrolled in Civil Engineering at TUM.
Yet, he was a lot more interested in TUM Professor Dr. Georg Span’s lecture on Applied Geology and promptly changed his field of study. Geology, the processes that have shaped the earth’s crust and keep doing so today, fascinated him.
The books, however, that tried to depict these processes were much less appealing.
Bernhard Edmaier is a geologist-turned-photographer who, not surprisingly, sees planet Earth as his muse.Already in school the badly illustrated Geology books annoyed him. Bernhard Edmaier wanted to do it better and more professionally. He had always enjoyed taking photos and his uncle and sister had given him good cameras as a gift right
