Geert shared with Bored Panda that it all started with a fox and then a bird that visited his garden. "I started to create scenes for them, placed food, and captured photos of them. When they left, the squirrels came, and they have returned almost daily for almost 11 years now."

The photographer told us that many ideas for his photoshoots come from his experiences in daily life, but also from what he sees and reads on the news, TV, etc. "Also, I get ideas from the props I find and sometimes through dreams. I wake up with an idea."

"Once, while repairing my chimney, one of my squirrel friends used the ladder and visited me on the roof. I always have food in my pockets. I did a photo shoot once while climbing a tree with squirrels following me. I never know when they'll come or if they'll do what I'm looking for."

"I have built a studio connected to the forest. In this studio, I have a large table where I create scenes. Here, I have a lot of wires in the air attached to little buckets with food. I can place these buckets exactly where I hope to capture the squirrels."

Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.
