Robert Mühlthaler: Born in 1963 in Hall in Tyrol, grew up and still lives in Innsbruck. First became substitute of the local handball team at the age of 10. 14 years later became a member of the national team. Ended his handball career in 1994. Owned his first camera at the age of 12 - first public exhibition in 1996 with the multi-vision slide-show "from the roof of the world to the Indian Ocean" - completion of the same titled CD-rom in 1997. Travelled to Asia, Africa and South America between 1997 and 2003. In 2004 he and Christoph Höbenreich organised the day of diversity of species in Tyrol for the renowned GEO magazine. In July he will be on a photo tour round Scotland and in October 2004 he organises a workshop with Jane Goodall - the world's foremost authority on chimpanzees.

Since 2003 both travel photographers publish their photographs for the wall calendar “ptolemaeus” through the association Foto & Kunst Innsbruck. Already in the first year the project ran very successfully, with an edition of over a few 1.000 copies. After a few weeks the wall calendar was totally sold out. All net profits out of the sale of the wall calendar go to a social project. In 2003 a private school in Peru could be built and a social project for single mothers could be realised with the sum of US$ 8.500,--. This year a social project in South Africa will be supported.


In 2003 a social project in Tamshiacu/North Peru has already been achieved.
