Founder of Nyctale Tours, Chris Venetz is bird tour leader and a professional bird photographer, who designs and leads bird-focused photography workshops and birding expeditions across Switzerland and around the globe. He aims to produce images that are both scientifically valuable and artistically compelling, often using « clean », diffused backgrounds and natural light to isolate the bird and while respecting its behavior and the habitat.

He regularly leads tours for Ornis Birding Expeditions, a well-established company specializing in high-quality, worldwide birding trips tailored to dedicated birdwatchers.

During each workshop—whether private or in a group setting—Chris Venetz is fully committed to sharing his ornithological knowledge and guiding participants in capturing authentic, intimate portraits of birds in their natural environments. He places strong emphasis on accurate species identification and is always eager to help you deepen your understanding of bird behavior and habitats.
