Bad Orb
From Friday, November 14, to Sunday, November 29, 2026, the Kulturkreis Bad Orb presents an impressive photo exhibition by Christoph Schmalbach at the Smallest House. The exhibition opening will take place on Friday, November 13, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. and offers a comprehensive insight into Schmalbach's nature photography. Art in Focus Christoph Schmalbach, born in 1987 in Schlüchtern, lives in Bad Orb and has devoted himself to nature photography since 2007. With his Canon 90D and Sigma 150–600 mm lens, he captures the diversity of landscapes, animals, and plants in striking moments. His sources of inspiration lie in direct encounters with nature – from the Lüneburg Heath to the Elbe Valley Lowlands and quiet sunsets. He is particularly fascinated by birds, whose grace and dynamism have accompanied him for years. Career and Purpose Schmalbach taught himself photography and has continuously developed his skills through exchanges with experts. His central role model is nature itself – with its colors, forms, and moods. His artistic statement: to make nature visible in all its uniqueness and preciousness. No image at any price; respect for nature always comes first.
