Richard Verroen says:
The Bluebells in the Hallerbos in Belgium are my favorite to capture in springtime. Very early on a morning in April, well it is more like night, I drive from the Netherlands to Belgium and walk into the forest before sunrise. It is still very quiet and the first birds are already singing. When the sun rises, all the flowers of the Bluebells and the first green leaves of the beech trees will become magical. That is a moment I love very much, every single year!
About Richard Verroen:
Netherlands
Richard Verroen has been photographing since he was eight years old. First only birds had his interest, later also landscapes and mammals.
He specialised himself in special light and behaviour of his subject and waits for several hours or even days to get the right capture, rather than taking a snapshot and continuing to the next.
He has been teaching workshops in animal photography and landscape photography for some years. Every fall in October he is teaching his masterclass in the Swiss Alps, and there are even more foreign country photo trips to come.
