My name is Heleen Sloots. I was born in Aruba. At the age of 7 I moved to the Netherlands and spent my youth in Breda. But I longed for the beach and the sea and because of that I eventually moved to zeeland where I also moved several times. I am the mother of a now grown up son and happily married. In 2011 I changed course drastically and my husband and I left for Italy, chased by the cameras of I am leaving. We started running a B&B which we still do with a lot of love and pleasure. In our sparse free hour, we like to go out, with the camera always traveling with us. Photography is a hobby of both of us. And there is plenty of beautiful Italy to photograph! But our greatest passion is searching and entering abandoned buildings. It is always exciting what you will find.
