ABOUT ANNIKA
Welcome to Annika Westgeest Photography. I am so glad you made it to my site!
I discovered my passion for photography in 2015 whilst looking for a new direction in my working career. I had been working for several years in HR, but realized I needed to re-discover my creative side.
Having taken several photography courses at the Fotovakschool and Fotoacademie (in the Netherlands), as well as nature photography workshops, I have had the time to develop as a photographer and discover what is really important to me. In my photo’s I want to share the world’s natural beauty and also promote how special it is. I specialize in macro photography, landscape photography, garden and castle shoots, travel photography and fine art. My style of work is cheerful, vivid in colour and radiates a sense of tranquility.
I have an adventurous spirit and a love for travel, which is a result of immigrating several times throughout my life. I was born in the Netherlands, moved to Canada at a young age, followed by moving to England after attending University and finally re-locating back to my home country of the Netherlands in my late twenties.
I am located in Almere Buiten, just around the corner from the renowned and beautiful national park Oostvaardersplassen. A wonderful park which never ceases to inspire me.
