Rogier
Nieuwendijk
Photographer
As a child/adolescent, he developed an interest in aviation due to living close to the US Air Force base of Soesterberg. Although it was a great passion, he never went to airshows (but went to the Air Force base to spot F15s). Growing up he started to study medicine in Antwerp, Belgium. And after finishing his study he stayed in Belgium and became an Intensive care doctor in Antwerp. But aviation never left his mind. He started photography after his son was born and it became a true passion. As his son grew older he also developed an interest in aviation. During a local airshow in Antwerp, the passion exploded in both of them. They started to go to as many airshows as possible in Belgium and the UK and the combination of photography with aviation deepens the drive to create great pictures to enjoy but also to share. It remains a challenge to take that shot in which you can capture the emotion and the beauty of aviation.
