Nature through the viewfinder;
silences my thoughts,
focuses my sights,
opens my heart.

For me, photography is not just a hobby. It is one of my passions. More specifically, outdoor photography; with a preference for landscapes. I'm also lucky enough to have to travel regularly for work, while also being able to travel the world privately. By way of my photography I hope to share some of the memories and impressions of the many beautiful places I've been lucky enough to visit.

I maintain a flickr website, covering most of my photography work. Both in terms of regular selected photographic highlights, as well as different thematic collections. I generally cross-post the highlights to my 500px, while also maintaining a humble (curated by their editors) portfolio on 1x. You can find me on Mastodon as @erikproper@mastoart.social.

Friends and colleagues often ask me why I took up photography as a hobby. As an answer this question, I have created a dedicated page. It's actually not a simple matter, involving several ups-and-downs, as well as ample inspiration by other photographers.

Another question people often ask me is what photography gear I use. To this end, I created a dedicated page, where I discuss the gear I use when taking photos, as well as the software and hardware I use when editing the photos.

As my journey into photography has also taken me across a range of camera brands and systems, I discuss these on a separate page, including my considerations in moving between the different systems.
