"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."
- Confucius.
Big changes start with small ideas. If my photos lead to more awareness of the fragility of our beautiful nature, then that is my ultimate applause.
I've been photographing since I was young but even now that I'm much older I still see new aspects of nature every day. The details are so beautiful that I want to capture them. My idea/goal is to show people the beauty of nature with all its diversity so that they also get surprised of what nature has to offer. For example during a car trip, bike ride or just walking. It is always there but you just have to see it. You just have to catch your eye and then you will see more and more.
That process is easier if you have seen a picture of someone who is looking for it, captures it and shares it. By seeing it you start to see it (of)yourself and maybe you will be disturbed by the pollution that is increasingly visible. You pick something up and throw it in a garbage can instead of walking on.
When you take a closer look at an insect, you see how fantastic nature is. I often hear that my photos of insects and other small animals make people look at them in a different way. They tell me that they now put that scary spider outside with a jar or move it to another spot with a broom. Anything is better than killing it!
