Interview met Jan Vermeer
Onlangs kreeg ik een spontaan berichtje van natuurfotograaf Jan Vermeer, die enkele kietelende opmerkingen maakte over mijn inspanningen voor Nature First NL/BE. Als ik dat van iemand had verwacht, dan was het wel van hem. Voor mij een uitgelezen kans om hem meteen uit te nodigen voor een interview voor Nature First.
Interview with Jan Vermeer
Recently I received a spontaneous message from nature photographer Jan Vermeer, who made some teasing comments about my work as an ambassador for Nature First. If I were to expect that from anyone, it would be from him. An excellent opportunity for me to immediately invite him to do an interview for Nature First.
Nature First Silver Partner: NZ Photography Workshops
Nature First would like to introduce you to New Zealand Photography Workshops. They were the very first organization to become a silver partner with Nature First. This involved a substantial commitment to practicing and promoting Nature First Principles within their organization.
Interview with Salvo Orlando
Living near a volcano like Etna has certainly influenced my way of seeing the world and natural beauties. I have always been fascinated by Nature, every time I find myself in front of it, in a forest or on the top of a mountain, I feel how everything is magically interconnected, everything exists in a delicate symbiosis perfectly balanced.
Interview with Andrea Gulickx
Andrea lives with her husband in a lovely house with an abundant flower garden in the village of IJzendoorn in the Betuwe. The village is protected by a high dike, right on the river Waal. The river, with its floodplains and woodlands, is an important source of inspiration for her photography. So important that she devoted her first published photo book ‘De Waal Bewogen’ to it.
Interview met Andrea Gulickx
Andrea woont met haar echtgenoot in een sfeervol huis met prachtige bloementuin in het dorpje IJzendoorn in de Betuwe. Het dorp ligt, beschermd door een hoge dijk, pal aan de rivier de Waal. De rivier met haar uiterwaarden en rivierbossen is een belangrijke inspiratiebron voor haar fotografie. Zo belangrijk, dat ze er haar eerste gepubliceerde fotoboek ‘De Waal Bewogen’ aan gewijd heeft.
Interview met Ruud van der Bliek
Toen ik recentelijk een oproep deed voor nieuwe teamleden, meldde Ruud zich meteen aan. Ik was blij met zijn enthousiasme, zijn nuchterheid, en de manier waarop hij kijkt naar zijn praktijk als reis- en workshopleider. Tijdens een gezellig lunch heb ik hem uitgehoord over zijn werk en over Nature First.
Nature First and NFTs
What’s a responsible nature photographer to do? Is it ethical for nature photographers to create and sell NFTs for income? The guidance from Nature First is very much related to our thoughts on nature photography and climate change. All nature photographers should take responsibility for learning about the environmental impact of their actions, and carefully consider how they can limit and reduce their own individual impact.
Reconsidering our approach to Landscape Photography
I have not been writing much lately. It is easy to produce a quick article to meet an editor’s deadline, but it is not so easy to write something worth saying. Will it just add to all the other noise that is already out there? That is always the fear—and I find the same applies to the production of photographs, which is why there are times in my own photography practice where I don’t shoot anything seriously for months at a time.
