Belgian Local Hero for Gitzo.
Wildlife- and nature photographers
Werner Van Steen,
After a first visit to Alaska in 1998, Werner decided to take up nature and wildlife photography after teaching himself the techniques, learning from books and practicing on his own. Not long after, World Wildlife Fund Belgium used his pictures for calendars and greeting cards and Werner was invited for numerous expositions both national and international.
In 2007, he got a Highly commended image in the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest.
As a former free climbing champion, he most of all loves to photograph mountains but Werner can be found travelling all over the world in search for various nature subjects under the best light...

Guido Sterkendries, Wildlife Photo-and videographer
Sterkendries is one of Belgiums finest extreme wildlife photographers, always discovering and exploring the unknown and its inhabitants.
By not focusing on popular and large animals, he creates a forum for small animals and reptiles. These often tell more about environment and their life quality; the combination of these two create a visual document most humans will never experience.

Amazone puur, Guido Sterkendries
For sale @ Hotz for 24,90?
Als explorer gewapend met lichtsterke lenzen brengt Guido Sterkendries de Amazone in beeld in al haar vormen en kleuren, vanuit zijn visie. Een visie die minstens buitensporig te noemen is voor dit tijdperk, daar hij tijdens zijn exploratietochten wordt aanzien als één van de meest gedreven en geëngageerde extreem natuurfotografen. Hij beperkt zich niet tot het schieten van mooie plaatjes, maar hij behandelt voortdurend kritisch, de ecologische, economische en culturele problematiek van de Amazone.
Werner Van Steen winner of the "Nature's Studio" category
Winning image in the European Wildlife Photographer of the year 2011 photo contest
Press Release:
Belgium talented nature and wildlife Photographer Werner Van Steen, had a winning image in the prestigious European Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2011 photo contest.
His picture of a lavafield was selected out of 14.000 participating photos from 39 countries and became winner of the "Nature's Studio" category. He photographed these magnificent lava patterns inside the actif Nyiragongo volcano in Congo. Only about one and a half year ago, this place was not yet accessible due to poachers who had build their camp on the southern rim of this crater. Inside the 1km wide crater, at approximately 350m deep, a big actif lavafield can be found the size of two football fields. It is one of only four crater lakes on Earth so it is truly unique to witness it. With temperatures of about 1250°C, the lake was continuously moving and creating abstract formations.
Werner Van STeen travels the whole World; from the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean in search of a close encounter with the great White Sharks to the highest Mountains of the Himalaya.

22 juni 2012, Danny en Francis;
"beste vrienden, collega's,
In het kader van het mijnenproject, "the legacy of mining landscapes" is eigenlijk het moment aangebroken na een voorbereiding sinds maart 2011 om het eerste deel van het Yukon Project te starten.
Met een stevige duik in de archieven en een intense voorbereiding met de kano zijn we klaar om het avontuur te trotseren en de fieldcamera's los te laten op het veld.
Binnen de eerste week van ons trajact kunnen jullie de race volgen via de officiële site van de organisatie. The Yukon project heeft nummer 24 meegekregen, ons doel is de sporen van de goudzoekers te volgen en hopen Dawson te bereiken na 740km.

Het vervolg van het traject zal je regelmatig kunnen volgen via blog van mijn meereizende vriend op:
Een reportage zal te zien zijn in het tweede of derde weekend van De Morgen. We worden namelijk gespot door een journalist en fotografe van de krant.
Op zoek naar het ware goud, Danny en Francis."
