Africa and Nature Photography
Ingrid has always been fascinated by Africa, first going there in 1994.
Although this continent and its wildlife remain her main focus, in recent years she has become involved in nature photography in other regions of the world.
As a side-step, Ingrid made an urban photo reportage about Doel, a village in decline in Flanders, and she is currently exploring the world of macro photography. You can find out more about all of this in the image galleries.
Devoted to Nikon equipment, Ingrid prefers to wait patiently with specific animals until something happens, rather than focusing on a multitude of subjects or designing and creating a certain set-up. She plans to continue to develop her photography with this philosophy of 'capturing the moment'.
