ENTRY DESCRIPTION
During my trip through the South African Kwazulu Natal area in September 2023, I came across a dominant male hippo who kept a close eye on his surroundings. I started photographing him from behind the reeds to create a sort of paparazzi appearance.

AUTHOR
As a Dutch photographer with a deep love for wildlife, nature and landscape photography, I would like to take you on a visual journey through breathtaking images. My name is Robin Scholte, and I am dedicated to capturing the beauty, power and expression of the natural world around us.

With my experience as a business leader and my adventurous spirit, I decided to follow my heart and fully dedicate myself to my old hobby – photography as an art form. It was a leap into the unknown, a new challenge that I fully embraced.

Wildlife photographer
In my work I capture the beauty of nature, the emotion of animals and the vibrant colours that we experience every day. My photography is a tribute to the world around us, and I live by the motto “You can only waste time when you forget to enjoy”. For me it is all about enjoying every moment, from the preparation to the creative processes and the final execution of my vision of our beautiful nature. And all this with deep respect for nature and wildlife.

Since 2021, I have also been working as a guide for Wildpix Travel, where I can share my passion for photography with like-minded adventurers. Together we explore the most inspiring destinations, from enchanting Poland in both summer and winter, to colorful Spain, exotic Guatemala and breathtaking South Africa. It is an incredible opportunity to share my knowledge and love for photography while discovering the world.
