I am Bernard Van Elegem, a Belgian nature photographer with a passion for biodiversity and the diversity of life. Focus: beetles, macro, birds. Ancient forest and extensive wild landscape lover. Most important for me in pictures: authenticity and touching. I use threads to give the wonderful creatures a voice and show their beauty to the world. Booklover. Fascinated by different cultures, people, architecture, musea, old libraries music and movies. Love silliness. Trying to stay wild and crazy.
