I’m Wesley Klijnstra, a nature and wildlife photographer from The Hague, Netherlands. My journey with photography began in 2008 when I got my first digital SLR and with it a passion that quickly turned into purpose. From early portrait work and passport photos to documenting animals and wild places, photography has become my way of connecting with the world and sharing what moves me most.

Over the years, I've traveled from the wild landscapes close to home to the jungles, savannas, and skies around the world, always looking through my lens not just for beauty, but for meaning.

What I Capture

I focus on nature, wildlife, and true moments in the wild, moments of curiosity, resilience, and raw life. Whether it’s the quiet gaze of a fox, the grace of a bird in flight, or the texture of landscapes shaped by time, my aim is to capture images that tell a story, connect emotionally, and invite you to see nature with fresh eyes.

My work is not just about creating beautiful images, it’s about capturing authentic encounters with the natural world, moments that remind us how precious and vulnerable our planet truly is.

A Mission Beyond Photography

I believe photography can do more than show, it can inspire. That’s why my work is rooted in:

• Education — helping people understand wildlife, ecosystems, and the urgent challenges they face.

• Conservation — using images to support protection efforts for species and habitats.

• Connection — creating visual stories that resonate with purpose-driven creators and nature lovers alike.

I want my photos to spark curiosity, empathy, and action, because we don’t protect what we don’t love.

Why Prints Matter

In a world where digital images can be swiped past in seconds, a print invites you to pause and connect. It brings nature into your everyday life, reminding you of its wonder and fragility. More importantly, your support has impact. A portion of every print sale goes directly to people and organizations working to protect wildlife and natural places. With every print you choose, you’re not just bringing art into your home, you’re helping preserve the wild for future generations.

What Makes My Images Special

Every image you see here reflects:

• A commitment to ethical photography — capturing animals and landscapes as they are, with respect and patience.

• A storyteller’s eye — looking beyond subjects to their lives and contexts.

• A mission-driven purpose — using art to support real-world conservation and awareness.

Your prints have meaning — for you, and for the world.
