Dear fellow photographers, please fill in the survey that I have made together with Tim Parkin and OnLandscape about the environmental aspects of landscape and nature photography!
There is no doubt that we landscape and nature photographers love nature. For many of us, it is precisely that love for nature that forms the basis of our photography. We want to capture the beauty of the landscape in images, each in our own way, and then share this beauty with others through our photographs. We spend much more time out in nature than most other people and usually feel a strong connection to it.
However, in order to pursue our passion or - for the professionals amongst us - our profession, certain activities are sometimes necessary that are not at all good for the climate and nature. Consider, for example, air travel or regularly buying new equipment or the negative impact it can have on the local environment when a place suddenly becomes very popular.
For me personally, this is a dilemma I’m increasingly grappling with and one that I sometimes find quite challenging. I’m very curious to know how other photographers feel about this. I’d therefore like to explore where we currently stand as a landscape photography community. How significant is our negative impact on the environment, are we aware of this, and are we already taking steps to reduce this impact? And what positive things are we doing with our images?
Just to be clear, I should point out that this research is not intended to accuse other photographers or to cast our community as a whole in a bad light. I have no right to speak on that matter, as my own ecological footprint is still substantial. But I believe we should not ignore this issue and that it would be interesting and important to assess where we stand and to consider how we might improve things without completely giving up our passion or traveling.
You can find the poll on the website of OnLandscape (see also the link in the comments), thank you in advance and please share it with your photographer friends.
One from the archives, image taken on the beach of Schiermonnikoog, the Netherlands
Although I can certainly enjoy the sunshine and the recent higher temperatures, I find it difficult to give up on winter completely. That's why I'm sharing another image from the High Fens, taken in January 2026. I think it's angelica, but I'm not entirely sure.
Another image from my recent High Fens photo trips. Some plant species show their elegance particularly well when covered in large amounts of snow; purple moor-grass is one of them.

Yes I know, I have not been very active here for quite a long period. I just didn’t feel like it, although I have been enjoying the work of other photographers almost on a daily basis here.
Now it is time to start sharing some own work again and I will begin with an image from a wonderful winter workshop with Annette and Silvia in the High Fens in Belgium earlier this year. Wonderful conditions, with lots of snow and some hoarfrost on top of that. Happy photographers:-)
Here’s a brief outlineof the story behind this special project:
“Flowerscapes – The Bug’s Eye View is a beautiful photographic tribute to our wildflowers, photographed from a surprising perspective. Photographer Theo Bosboom has been wondering for years what the view would be like from an ant looking up while walking through a flower field, or from a ladybug that has just landed on a flower stem. He has long dreamed of photographing wildflowers from this insect’s perspective! For a long time, this seemed impossible because regular camera equipment is too large and bulky for this. But when a long, narrow wide-angle macro lens that can rotate 360 degrees became available on the market some time ago, Bosboom suddenly saw a way to turn his dream into reality. “It was as if I received the key that granted access to a wondrous secret world; I felt very privileged!”
For Bosboom, this was the start of a personal journey of discovery across numerous flower fields and other places where wildflowers can be found, such as ditches, forests, dunes, and parks, mainly in the Netherlands and sometimes just across the border in Germany or Belgium. He temporarily put his other projects on hold so he could dedicate two springs and summers entirely to the flowerscapes.
The result is a special photo book, featuring images of 50 different wild plant species, all photographed from the insect’s perspective. Nature journalist Kirsten Dorrestijn (daughter of Hans) wrote interesting stories about seven of the species, filled with numerous surprising facts and fun tidbits. The book design is by the great Sandra Bartocha”
In the meantime, a wonderful photo story about the project has been published in the Dutch edition of National Geographic Magazine, but that deserves a separate post, so I will get back to that shortly!
Please share with anyone that might be interested, thank you!
Here is an excerpt from the introduction: "What is the view of an ant looking up while walking through a field of flowers? Or of a ladybird that has just perched on a stem of a flower? How fantastic would it be if you could photograph flowers from this insect perspective! Until recently, you could only dream of this. But when a long narrow wide-angle macro lens that you can rotate 360 degrees came on the market some time ago, I suddenly saw an opportunity to make the dream a reality. It was the start of a personal journey of discovery through countless flower fields and all kinds of other places where you can encounter flowers, such as roadsides, forests, dunes and parks, mostly in the Netherlands. Because of the ever-surprising perspectives, I became completely captivated by flowers and continued to marvel at their beauty and power.”
I worked on this book in relative silence, simply because I was afraid of giving others ideas before I finished the project. Although photographing from the insect perspective is not entirely new ( was already doing this with insects over 15 years ago using a homemade lens!), I think few photographers have got beyond some experimentation and I hope to be the first to dedicate an entire bookproject to flowers and flower fields with the view from the bottom.
The great will again design the book and help me with the image selection, as she did with Shaped by the sea and Back to Iceland. This book will also contain some interesting texts about flowers by a photojournalist. I will be happy to tell you more about that in the coming posts.
The project is featured in the May issue of the Dutch edition of National Geographic magazine. More about that later!

“Theo Bosboom (The Netherlands) shows how mussels bind together to avoid being washed away from the shoreline. Theo likes to take images of species that aren’t usually considered beautiful or important, to highlight their unappreciated significance. He took this image from above with a probe lens – a long, thin, macro wide-angle lens. Mussels play an important role in creating dynamic ecosystems for other marine invertebrates such as crustaceans, worms and even small fish. They improve the water quality by filter-feeding, extracting plankton as well as bacteria and toxins, which prevents them from building up to dangerous levels.”
The image was taken during a Nordic Vision photo trip to the West of Portugal. It was the second visit to this particular beach, which is quite hard to reach due to a steep rocky trail. We were there only with 3 people, because the rest of the group preferred a session on another beautiful and more accessible beach close-by. This enabled us to reach some more remote parts of the beach, which included a lot of scrambling over wet rocks. On the way back we discovered the large colony of mussels and were able to photograph it just before the high tide came in. Monique and Anja, it was nice sharing this experience with you!
The main winners and other highly commended images of the competition will be revealed in London in October. You can see the sneak peek at the website of Natural History museum and at the Insta account
