Recently I read another of the ‘WE ARE F-STOP’ series called “FEELING ALIVE IN ARFICAN WILDLIFE WITH WILLEM BAKHUYS ROOZEBOOM”. In this piece Roozeboom talks about how he got into photography after being in a corporate job for too long and about his travels around Africa after he made his career change.
I am very inspired by Roozeboom’s story about a change in career as I think this is something that not enough people are comfortable to do, even though they are miserable in their current work.
What inspires me most about this article is the insane photography by Roozeboom. The angles that Willem has been able to achieve is amazing and in the article he explains how he lies under his car in order to observe an animal stroll past close enough for this level of detail and this incredible angle.
Roozeboom’s attitude to the art of photography is also very encouraging as he takes every opportunity he can to get out into the wild with his camera and his other f-stop equipment.

I personally can relate to this attitude as I am aspiring to travel all over the world with my camera in the future, hopefully as a career.
After reading the article in the ‘We Are F-Stop’ series, I looked further into Roozeboom’s work through his Instagram profile (attached to the end of the article) and I am continually inspired to travel and try wildlife photography which is something that I have not tried much of in the past.
