I’m Guido van de Water, a dedicated professional nature and landscape photographer passionate about capturing the essence, emotion, and narrative in each of my images.
As an ambassador for OM System, I am also a sought-after speaker and workshop leader, eager to inspire photographers at any skill level to explore the beauty of nature through their lenses. My work has received numerous accolades in photography contests and has been featured in prominent magazines and newspapers. Additionally, I contribute articles to photography magazines and online platforms.
I host a YouTube channel where I share new videos weekly, focusing on landscape and nature photography. Through these videos, as well as my workshops and photo talks, I aim to motivate fellow photographers to grow and unleash their creativity.
If you have any questions about my work or photography in general, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I genuinely enjoy connecting with photographers of all levels.
Let's get inspired and discover how we can capture the beauty of our world together!
“The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up”
Out of the Darkness
My very first book out of the darkness is now available for pre-order.
This is a hardback 136 page book written in English.
This book is a collection of my favorite photographs, each paired with the story behind the image.
Woven through the pages is my own personal journey—a thread that connects every story and photograph into one complete piece. It’s about life-changing events, hitting rock bottom, and finding the strength to climb back up. It’s the story of turning a lifelong dream into a career as a professional photographer.
This is by far the most personal project I’ve ever undertaken. Whether you’re passionate about photography or navigating a difficult chapter in your own life, I hope this book offers inspiration and encouragement for your journey.
You’ll also find QR codes linking to on-location YouTube videos, where I share how and where each image was captured.
Expected shipping: September - October 2025.
