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.

Strike! A once in a lifetime shot. I always keep trying and finally captured this spectacular shot this year!
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!
Before I captured my lightning shot, these were the clouds that were approaching me!
The last bit of the sun behind a tulip that's standing above them all.
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.
One of the most beautiful sunrises of the season: A thin layer of fog and little dew drops on the tulips. Worth waking up for at 4:30 AM
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.
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.
Red tulips and dew drops: My favorite to photograph during tulip season.
Here, the sun rose exactly in the middle of the lines in this tulip field.
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.
Classic view of a windmill with tulips in front. The red and yellow are a mixed version of tulips.
Little tulip family, do you see the tiny one?
Stormy skies over the tulip fields are one of my favorite combinations to photograph.
The village of Aartswoud on a foggy morning.
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.
I always bring my macro lens to capture the little details on the flowers.
My first tulip shot of the season: A nice split of color with a dramatic sky above.
Some places in The Netherlands look like a work of art from the top-down views. Captured by drone.
A shelf cloud is approaching over the tulip fields. Needless to say, I had to run to the car when this hit me.
A tulip field right next to the water. I was lucky my boat had just passed by.
A farmer walking through the lines of tulips, looking for tulips that don't belong here. He will remove them all before he harvests the bulbs.
The split! Imagine looking over a sea of red tulips from your house!
I can't imagine a sea of flowers instead of my sea view 🌷🌊
The church tower of Aartswoud.
Picturesque villages with tulip fields. A theme I photographed a lot this year.
The Flevoland Provence in The Netherlands wasn't there many years ago. The Dutch made it in the water themselves, that's why it looks like this!

The Sint Lambertus Church in De Weere is surrounded by tulip fields.
if anyone is in the new england area and wants to see something like this, i highly suggest Wicked Tulips Flower farm. it's run by a nice old dutch guy and it's rlly pretty
I lived in the Netherlands for 12 years, close to where most of the flower bulbs are cultivated. I really miss seeing endless fields of flowers following the seasons... First the snowdrops, then the crocuses, then the daffodils (which have a spicy scent) and the tulips, hyacinths and lilies.... Such a beautiful sight as the long winter nights melt into spring and summer x
Amazing photographs by an obviously very talented artist.
