In 2014, Fabrice Vroon took up photography after buying a Nikon Coolpix S3600. Once he’d got the hang of it, he switched to a Nikon D3400, which opened up a whole world of options and possibilities. Even after three years, this upgrade still wasn’t enough, so as of mid-2020 I’m now using a Nikon Z50, one of Nikon’s latest mirrorless cameras, paired with a 16–50mm and a 50–250mm zoom lens. Since 2024, two more lenses have been added to the collection, including the Nikon Z 24mm DX F1.7 and the Viltrox 85mm F1.8, which give his landscapes and portraits an extra edge.
This is where he began with wildlife photography, something he has enjoyed doing from the very start, particularly at Blijdorp Zoo, but he also loves visiting parks or other places where nature and animals can be found. Added to this is urban photography, where the architecture in the photographs itself must come to life. Vitality and emotion are key aspects that must be reflected in every photograph. Since early 2021, he has also been using the Lee Filter system, which allows him to emphasise colours and effects in his photographs, focusing on landscape, urban and night photography, with the occasional foray into portrait photography.
He also has a positive outlook on life, is enthusiastic about what he does and enjoys listening to what others have to say. Sometimes he needs a bit of time to recharge, which he likes to do by going away for the weekend or getting out into nature for a while. He also spends time with friends, often playing Dungeons and Dragons and enjoying a drink with a hearty meal.
