Henk's Page

Hello, my name is Henk.
My dream is to become a professional photographer. I hope that I get the chance to do more with my photos.

I have taken photos the whole of my live, there is no day without my photos.
I try to see the world in a whole other way: the artistic way.

My vision concerning photography is. I want make very beautiful photograph
with a big love for macro, but of course also for photography in general.

I have always found getting good photos a challenge.
I was born in 1966 at Nijmegen, a City located in the eastern part of the Netherlands.

At the age of vortien I got my first camera, and Praktica LTL3.
In those days, I often walked through the forest and the countryside of Nijmegen in my free time. I was fascinated by insects and flowers.

I was curious and inquisitive, so I was eager to get knowledge about the lives and behaviour of these creatures.
I read many books concerning animals and other nature topics.

Between the age of 18 and 35 there was a large break, in which other things where more important than photography.
I mainly photographed common objects like my family, holidays and other occasions.
.
My love for nature and photography though has never ended.
In my late thirties I have taken up nature photography very fanatically. Like many other photographers, I also am a self-made photographer.

I have learned by practising as much as possible.
My love for insects and flowers is still present, but has been extended to more photographic aspects and point of views.

I like to capture patterns and compositions, lights and contrasts in nature.
I have also taught myself other topics that support my photography such as image editing and other techniques greetings Henk.
