Chris Venetz is a professional bird tour leader and bird photographer who designs and leads bird photography tours and birding expeditions across Switzerland and around the world. His lifelong passion for birds has taken him to every continent, and he has guided numerous tours and expeditions for birders and photographers across a wide range of destinations.

Through his photography, Chris aims to create images that combine artistic quality with scientific relevance. His work often favors clean, diffused backgrounds that isolate the subject, while always respecting natural behavior and the integrity of the bird’s natural habitat.

Whether leading private tours or small group expeditions, Chris enjoys sharing his ornithological knowledge and field experience. He puts great importance on accurate species identification and helps participants develop both their photographic skills and their understanding of avian diversity.

Keen birders interested in dedicated birding expeditions are also encouraged to visit the Ornis Birding Expeditions website, where Chris leads several tours annually.
