About

Born in September 1976, Markus Roth’s passion for photography reaches all the way back to his childhood. The son of the well-known sports photographer Hans-Alfred Roth has learned in his early childhood how fascinating it is to captivate special moments on film or memory chip.
He has been addicted to the underwater world since 2004. Thus, next to his wife, Judith; his camera has been his constant companion.
