Wie nah muss man gehen, um wirklich zu sehen?
Über Overtourism wird viel gesprochen. Über zerstörte Vegetation, abgesperrte Bereiche, Lärm an Orten, die nie für Menschenmengen gedacht waren. Diese Folgen sind sichtbar und gut dokumentiert. Was mich jedoch zunehmend beschäftigt, ist ein Aspekt, der seltener thematisiert wird: die ökologische Bilanz des Weges selbst. Das, was geschieht, lange bevor man den Spot erreicht.

Protecting the Birds of the Waddenzee
Dutch conservationist organisations have joined forces to educate photographers and others about the birds of the Waddenzee.
The Waddenzee, a tidal mudflat area that runs all along the northern coast of the Netherlands and extends as far as Denmark, is a unique habitat listed as one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites.
Interview with Bob Luijks
When Bob Luijks agreed to let himself be interviewed for Nature First, I couldn’t have been happier. Bob is not only a passionate nature photographer who leads workshops and trips, but also editor-in-chief of Natuurfotografie magazine and a popular series of handbooks and guides for nature photographers, so one of the more influential voices in the Dutch photography world.
Developing a Sense of Place
During the pandemic, many people rediscovered nature as a welcoming escape from sheltering at home. People hiked local trails, walked around their neighborhoods, or simply sat outside observing nature in their own backyards. For me, it was a time when I dusted off my camera and rediscovered my passion of capturing beautiful images outside.
