My Journey: From Circuits to the Soul of the Earth

The Quest for Understanding

Since I was a child, I’ve been driven by a single question: How does it work? This curiosity led me to become an electrician. I wanted to master the invisible energy of electricity and understand the systems that power our modern world. But knowing how the wires run wasn’t enough. My thirst for knowledge pushed me further into computer science—into the digital architecture of servers and systems.

While I spent years mastering the technical “brain” of our society, I realized that to stay healthy and truly creative, I needed to step out of the server room and back into the light of the natural world.

The Evolution: From Provocation to Personality

In early 2024, I took a leap of faith to follow my long-held dream of creating. I launched my project under the name “Love with Death.” It was a necessary first step—a way to be provocative and showcase the wonders of nature in a bold way, inspired by the epic atmosphere of Two Steps From Hell.

But as I grew, I realized that this name, while successful in its initial goal, became a cage. It limited my ability to truly be myself. Now, in 2026, I have transformed the project into erwins.earth. This isn’t just a rebranding; it’s a homecoming. It represents my world—unfiltered, personal, and free.

Seeing the Unseen

My background in technology has become my toolkit. From managing my own web architecture to choosing the right hardware for high-end cinematography, my technical roots allow me to bridge the gap between complex gear and raw beauty. My work is divided into two perspectives:

• The Big Picture: In my cinematic videos, I capture the soul of a landscape. I don’t just add music; I wait until I feel a connection between a melody and a memory. Only when the sound and the vision align do I bring the story to life.

• The Micro World: While most people hike for speed, I hike to see. Through macro photography, I capture the intricate details others overlook—the delicate structure of a leaf, the vibrant colors of a petal, or a bee at work. For me, nature isn’t a race; it’s an experience to be savored.

My Commitment to the Earth

Sustainability is at the heart of erwins.earth. It’s about more than just filming nature; it’s about protecting it. I strive to live mindfully—driving an electric car, supporting brands that prioritize recycled materials, and following “Leave No Trace” principles on every trail. I believe in using equipment as long as possible and respecting the resources that allow me to do what I love.

Join My World

When you visit erwins.earth, I want you to feel a spark of wanderlust. I want you to look at a photo or watch a video and think: “I want to be there.” Through my videos, hiking tips, and photography, I invite you to slow down and rediscover the planet with me.
