I was astounded by the colors of ice at hight altitude. They inspired me so much I wanted to take them with me.

Peter Boers is a passionate Dutch landscape and travel photographer from Amstelveen, The Netherlands. He got his first camera when he was thirteen. Attracted by new experiences and his interest in overwhelming nature, Peter studied biology, learned how to climb (alpine and rock) and discovered traveling to foreign countries and cultures. When he first climbed at high altitude he was astounded by the many colors white and blue that snow and ice can have. He became passionate about these colors. A same feeling he got from other cultures and unfamiliar nature. Therefore at twenty Peter began to combine photography with his other passions: nature, mountaineering and traveling.

Peter enjoys exploring nature and new surroundings. His love for nature and the landscape around us is reflected in his style of shooting. Vivid or serene colors and beautiful light gives Peter a feeling of admiration for the world around us. It brings the ‘wow factor’ that triggers him to press the schutter. When traveling or visiting (foreign) cities he can also be affected by what he sees in the same way. While shooting Peter merges into the moment. Photographing in an unstrained way, feeling passion for your surrounding and indulge yourself in making pictures, is for him great fun and the true ‘playing with light’. He will passionate keep capturing what gives him a sense of wonder, enthusiasm and joy.

I love ‘playing with light’, feeling the landscape and admiring it’s beauty.
