About Iris van Velzen
Hi, my name is Iris. I am an animal photographer. I live in the region of Westerwolde. The southeast of the provicie Groningen. I mainly photograph dogs and Icelandic horses at cool locations in nature. I travel throughout the Netherlands and abroad for this.
I grew up with Drentse Patrijshond Famke and had guinea pigs, hamsters and rats as pets. I have done various trainings and internships in animal care and horse husbandry. After years of teaching horse riding to people with Icelandic horses, I decided to change tack in 2016 and start working fully as an animal photographer.
My day starts well when I get up early in the morning to spend a few hours with a herd of Icelandic horses, a mare with foal in the pasture or get to go for a walk with a dog.
