About Rense Sjoers
I'm Rense, born in 1967 in Harlingen and raised in Franeker, in the north of the Netherlands. After living in many places across the Netherlands and Slovakia, I now live in Capelle aan den IJssel.
My love of photography started around the age of eighteen, shooting rolls of black-and-white film on my Minolta. After a long break I picked it up seriously again in 2016 with a Nikon D7200. Later I switched to Fujifilm, first the X-T3 and nowadays the X-H2.
I mainly photograph birds and wildlife in Dutch nature, from kingfishers and woodpeckers to waders on the coast. I also have a soft spot for military aviation and can often be found at airshows. And when it's quiet outside, I dive into the miniature world with my macro lens.
I look for calm, beautiful light and that one moment when an animal looks straight at you. I hope you'll see that in my work on your wall.
