As a full-time landscape photographer, I travel all around the world for my photography. But photographing my own home country, The Netherlands, never gets old!

This year, I spent the whole tulip season in my homeland and captured a big variety of tulip photos: From storms and lightning strikes to lots of drone shots and beautiful misty mornings.
All of these photos were captured this year.

Spectacular Photos From This Year's Tulip Season In The Netherlands

Strike! A once in a lifetime shot. I always keep trying and finally captured this spectacular shot this year!

Report

As a professional landscape photographer, I have seen many beautiful places around the world. But photographing my home country never gets boring. It’s great because I know all the seasons very well, and can predict the weather very easily because of all my years of experience. So I know when to go to which location to get the perfect shot. It makes it even more challenging to create original shots as I have captured my homeland so much already. But that’s what keeps it fun. I keep trying to improve my Netherlands portfolio, capturing the same spots in a better way or simply discovering new ones. Because even after all these years, I still find new spots I want to photograph every year!

    When photographing tulip fields, for me the challenges are mainly to try to still come up with original shots. As I have photographed them for almost 10 years, you would think I have shot every possible composition and condition out there. But that’s not the case! I keep trying to do new things. This year, I captured a beautiful lightning strike above a red tulip field where the lines pointed exactly to the middle. In all of my years of shooting, I never managed to do that. It just proves there are still new shots to be taken for me. And every year I try again if I am around.

    If I saw this pic without context, I would not think "tulip"... I know it's probably just a different kind, but my brain keeps thinking "too many petals for tulips"! LOL

    A beautiful afternoon at Aartswoud. With this particular light, it really looks like a painting.

    Report

    This year, for me the most memorable evening was shooting the tulips with a big shelf cloud coming over, and after that, the thunderstorms. This year the ’theme’ of the season was storms in general, you could say. We had a very cold spring and the season started very slow. But the storms were beautiful! I loved capturing those dark clouds with the bright tulips. It makes for great contrast. This year, I also focused more on drone shots from picturesque villages in the North West of the country. I spent a lot of time flying my drone and capturing these cute villages. It adds a little extra when you see the tulip fields around them.

    In the future, in fact, I plan to shoot even more in The Netherlands. I have some interesting projects coming up, but I am excited about just anything. You can expect to see some new beautiful locations from my side, and of course, I will keep upgrading the Dutch portfolio. And I have some new things that I will announce very soon.

    Living between the tulips. It must be beautiful to wake up and have a view right over the tulip fields.

    oh yeah, love the movement in this one. The rhythm and the direction of the fields juxtaposed to the neighborhood is wonderful.

    A shelf cloud is approaching over the tulip fields. Needless to say, I had to run to the car when this hit me.

    The bright color really contrasts well with the shelf cloud. We have to watch out here when it looks like this, tornado season is upon us.

    I'd walk tulips long before walking beans or detasseling corn again. This appears more relaxing.
