Welcome to the website of nature photographers Jelger Herder and Maaike Pouwels. Our specialism is reptile, amphibian and fish photography but we also cover all other groups of species in our portfolio.

“What the eye doesn’t see, the hearth doesn’t grieve over” often applies to small species like the smooth snake, natterjack toad, river lamprey and pond loach. Our aim is to get more attention for these less familiar species by showing their beauty to a large audience to create a basis for conservation.

We hope you enjoy your visit to our website!
