My name is Wim Denijs ,and I am living in Flanders. Photography is the red thread through my life . It started with a simple Practica , and bit by bit it became a passion . Before I lived in Tunisia and Vietnam (for my job), there I was very interested in portraits of the local people, I talked to them, and registrated their lifes on the picture. Lately I discovered the power of nature and landscapes. I am very found of Iceland, and I am going there every year. In my pictures I try to expose the movement in the clouds, the water, by playing with the shutter speed . Sometimes, I even go up to 6 minutes. Maybe some landscapes are romantic , and very classic , but so be i t. I only try to show wath touched me by that moment when I was there, and yes I am a romantic.
