About me
Gertjan Sluijer
Photo enthusiast
I capture the stories of our natural world through my lens. A passionate photo enthusiast focused on landscapes and wildlife, I find pure joy in pursuing those fleeting moments when light, composition, and subject come together in perfect harmony.
My journey in photography began with an abiding love for travel. Joining photo tours waiting patiently to capture elusive wildlife, I get wowed at the raw beauty of our planet with each passing frame.
Each image in my portfolio represents not just a photo, but a story of waking up at dawn, the quiet moments of waiting, and then the rush of excitement when everything falls into place. From dramatic landscapes, highlighting the subtle and delicate play of light and shadow, to intimate portraits of wildlife in their natural habitat, my work strives to capture the incredible within our natural world.
I photograph both landscape and wildlife, each with its own challenges and rewards. I love the meditation of waiting for perfect light in landscape photography, returning to the same location again and again until conditions are just right. Wildlife photography teaches me patience and a little humility; there is nothing quite like the thrill of capturing that perfect moment after hours of waiting.
Each picture reminds me of an incredible planet.
