24 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN PHOTO TOURS
24 years of photo travel already. Six continents, together with like-minded people, enjoying nature and photography.
After a short career as a biologist, I started in 1993 as a tour guide, leading hiking trips for SNP Natuurreizen. In late 1996, I became a professional photographer; in the spring of 1997, I stopped leading hiking trips. From 2002 onwards, I started leading photo trips for SNP Natuurreizen: special nature trips where there is less travel and plenty of time for photography. More time at each location, to enjoy nature together and to photograph it well. Trips for nature photographers and nature lovers.
For an overview of all trips since 2002, reviews, and more about ecotourism, see 24 YEARS OF PHOTO TOURS.
