Theo Bosboom is a passionate photographer from the Netherlands, specialising in nature and landscapes. In 2013, he turned his back on a successful legal career to pursue his dream of being a fulltime professional photographer. Since then, he has never looked back.
For Theo photography is a perfect mix between enjoying the outdoors, exploring the natural world and creative expression. He would be very happy if his work could contribute to more respect for and appreciation of nature.
Although Theo has a broad interest in nature, he especially loves Northern Europe, wild coasts and stormy weather. Besides that he enjoys making photo series of small creatures like damselflies or limpets and is often inspired by the details of nature. In recent years, Theo has also done a couple of projects with a more journalistic approach. Theo is regarded as a creative photographer with a distinguishable style.
