About Gerard de Zwaan

Welcome to my shop. I am Gerard de Zwaan, born in 1983 in the town of Harderwijk—located in the Veluwe region—where I grew up and still reside today. I began my photography journey in 2013. My first camera was a Nikon D3200, which I still own and now keep as a backup; I later added a Nikon D7200 to my gear. Currently, I use a Nikon Z6III for most of my work. Occasionally, I also employ one or two Nikon SB700 speedlights to illuminate a subject. From the start, I have focused primarily on nature photography—specifically landscapes—with the forests of the Veluwe around Harderwijk serving as an ideal setting. I also dabble in macro photography and, from time to time, capture wildlife. Occasionally, I photograph people as well—sometimes as commissioned work, and other times as personal projects.
