rob blanken photography 

Rob Blanken (1956) is a passionate nature photographer from the Netherlands. Rob has  special interest in creative photography and has developed a distinctive style. He calls it NATURE's ART. Birds,  insects and abstracts are his main interest. He wants to tell a story with his images and likes to work in projects. 'I want to discover how more or less ordinary subjects can be made visible in a special, in-depth but also artistic way. Making the 'unseen' visible, both for the photographer and the viewer. That's what it's about'. Important parts of this trip are studying the subject, a good portion of imagination and courage and sparring with fellow travellers. Technically, unusual positions, extreme exposures, high magnifications and extremely slow shutter speeds have frequently been used. 

​

Rob lives in the countryside of Friesland, the Netherlands. He used to work as a dermatologist, a profession where good observation is very important. 

 

Rob’s work has been recognized in several photographic competitions.
