About Carel

I take photos that feel real and tell a story. I’ve been photographing for over twenty years and I am still learning every day. I love sharing what I have learned, helping others, and enjoying the process of getting better. For me, it is never just about the photo, it is about the people, the place and the experience. I will never stop doing it.

Every bruise and every gurn has a backstory. None of them are intelligent, but they’re proof that bad decisions make the best photo dumps… and usually lead to the most fun.

“A very British weekend powered by tea, stubbornness, and an irrational hatred of quitting that ended in camping in a field full of sheep, queuing up for a shed load of pain, and apologising to the ground every time I hit it.
Every bruise and every gurn has a backstory. None of them are intelligent, but they’re proof that bad decisions make the best photo dumps… and usually lead to the most fun.
