Hi, I'm Anneke

 Above All I am the proud Mother Of Milla.

I love all that is pure. I am impulsive, but also accountable. I am social, but also know when to take a step aside. Compassionate, sensitive, adventurous, full of passion, and a tiny bit of a rebel.  A perfectionist and forever searching. A wanderer, a vegetarian.  A music, nature and life lover. 

PURE - REAL - LOVE

In My Photography the three most important words are PURE, REAL and LOVE. Spontaneous photo’s is what I do best. 

 As a little girl I used to “borrow” my dads camera. Resulting in owning my first camera when I was 9. During my career as a dive instructor, I came in contact with underwater photography and videography. While doing this as a job I fell in love with photography all over again. When I gave up diving professionally and returned to Belgium. I made myself the promise not to lose touch with photography… and I didn’t. 

I wanted to learn the art of photography like it had always been taught up until now. I wanted to shoot with a camera obscura and get my hands dirty in dark room. I was lucky to be part of the last class who had this opportunity. After my year at Syntra, everything went digital. I do believe that learning analog first gave me an extra. 

Soon I got to combine photography and my love for live music. I was lucky enough to be the in house photographer for Muziekcentrum Trix and OLT Rivierenhof. And on the side I would follow bands and shoot for music magazines.

This however is not where my love for photography stopped. And neither did life.

 I started indewolkenfotografie  where I would focus more on the beginning and the ending of life. Due to the pandemic things did not go as planned. As exactly those things ended first.  And In De Wolken Fotografie was short lived. 

I did get to spend lots of time with a herd of quarter horses during those years. By the end of the pandemic:  I did an instructor course in Natural Horsemanship. We got 2 rats , 3cats, a dog, 4 chickens and our own horse. And as a result my love for animal photography grew. 

So yes I photograph almost anything now. As long is it is pure. I will find my heart in it and I have experience in it.
