I am Johan Willems, born in Belgium in the town of Hasselt on 20 April 1961. I have been interested in photography since my early youth, when I photographed celebrations and family trips Combining travel and photography became my passion: through these travels, I discovered my specialities : portrait photography and wildlife photography. I tried to educate myself futher and got in touch with professional photographers who shared many good tips and tricks with me. My love for Africa started in 2008 first to make portraits and later in 2014 to focus more on wildlife photography. I feel very attracted to the African continent. The warmth the sincere friendliness of the African people, the nature,the safari experiences. My goal is to have my own photo exhibition.
