North Island Camper Trip | Two weeks away in the camper to explore more of the North Island. We celebrated our first New Year’s Eve in summer, camped right by the surf, walked through volcanic landscapes and towards Mount Doom, and mountain biked through lush forests. Slowly but surely, getting to know Aotearoa a little better. | View post

A great photograph makes you feel as though you were right there in the moment.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Yu-Sha Vergeer

Hi there!

A little bit about me, Yu-Sha. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been curious about the world around me. I’m interested in all living beings, nature, learning new things, and the everyday details that others sometimes overlook.

My DSLR camera from 2010 is a bit too heavy (and loud) to carry around all the time. Because of that, it often happens that I come across a striking image I can’t capture and try (unsuccessfully) to hold on to it, until it eventually fades. I think that’s what I love most about photography: it allows you to preserve moments. Not necessarily in a completely realistic way, but often slightly more stylised or romanticised – something our own memory tends to do as well.

I’ve been taking photos since I was young, and even spent a year at art school, completing the preparatory course for photography and fine arts. Although I chose a different degree in the end, photography has always remained a hobby, and I think there is a certain luxury in keeping it that way, not turning it into work.

Through my images, I hope to share a glimpse of how I see the world, and maybe create something that inspires people or simply leaves them with a positive feeling.

I do occasionally take on projects or commissioned work, especially when it’s something I feel connected to or genuinely care about.

Thanks for visiting!
