“This is one
of those books that as soon as I picked it up, I was only having to
look at three or four spreads and I knew I needed to have it instantly.”

summer 2021 - ongoing
Insects play a vital role in our ecosystem, yet their significance often goes unnoticed. How often do they escape our attention—especially the nocturnal ones? In today’s world, where visibility is often equated with value, it is easy to overlook these inconspicuous creatures. Yet, for many species, this very quality is essential to their survival.
These images offer a rare glimpse into a hidden world—one that coexists with ours yet remains largely unseen. They reveal a delicate balance of beauty and unpredictability, showcasing nature’s quiet grandeur just above our heads. It is a world that is both modest and spectacular, familiar yet magical, ordinary yet extraordinary.
Most of these photographs were taken in and around Rotterdam, where I live. My hope is that they will reach a wider audience, offering a fresh perspective on our surroundings, inspiring a deeper connection with nature, and, above all, reminding us of the joy and wonder it has to offer.
