Krijn Trimbos is a freelance Nature and Wildlife photographer situated in Leiden, the Netherlands. My passion for nature began with Owls. My father tried to symbolise wisdom for a talk at a conference by using the Owl in his presentation. Ever since that time I have been really passionate about the green world and all its beauty. It is what made me choose for a life in Biology. As of now I am still working on my PhD on 'Population Genetics of the Black-tailed Godwit' at the University of Leiden.
There was always a real urge to record nature but it situated itself merely as a hobby up till 2006. This is when my SLR broke down in Bali. And being there for an internship, lasting 7 months, I figured that I had to have a camera to record this beautiful island. This is when I bought my first (D) SLR and my former nature photography hobby spawned into a real passion.
Since that time I have visited many places like Bali, Texas, Spitsbergen, and the Camarque just to name few. Having spend a lot of time in the agricultural landscape for my work and a lot of subjects being just around the corner, The Netherlands has become my favourite destination.
My work has been published in several renowed Dutch magazines (E&V magazine, Vogels). In 2010 one of my photo's was awarded with the first prize in the Mammal category at the International Glanzlichter nature photography competition. Also one of my photo's won a highlight in the Grasduinen nature photography contest in 2008. I have had the most incredible time making nature photo's and if it is up to me I will continue doing this for a long time to come. I hope you'll enjoy looking around at my website and that the selection of photo's displayed here will express the amazing experiences I have had as a nature photographer over the last few years.
Best regards,
