Erik Hijweege (1963) decided to follow his heart and change his career to become a photographer in 1998. In his personal work Hijweege has shown himself to be an explorer, fascinated by nature, with its romantic beauty and it’s overwhelming power. Sublime Nature is the connecting theme in his personal work. Through different projects he highlights the grandeur of Mother nature. Ranging from supercells to waterfalls and remote houses in desolate environments. His passion for “the Sublime” and love for nature are combined in his Nibelungen project. Hundreds of thousands of starlings whirling in the sky before they go to sleep creating stormlike clouds in the skies.
