Professional photographers reveal their top six

tools of the trade they couldn’t shoot without

I’M 32 and live in a small

fishing village, Lemmer, in the

Netherlands. In my daily life I

work in a laboratory at a concrete

factory. When I’m done working I

like to explore nature – I relax and

recharge myself. I’m inspired by

the insects and was curious how

they looked up close – you

obviously can’t clearly see these

details with the naked eye. This is

how my hobby came about for

making insect portraits and their

details. I want to show people the

beauty of these creatures and the

beautiful work of our creator.

WHAT DO I DO?

For most images I’ll merge

together anywhere between

80 and 150 images
