Hi, I'm Tim van Wessel and welcome to my website. I'm a proud father, graphic designer and local woodland/landscape “photographer” from Hilversum, The Netherlands. This is the place where I will try to showcase my images that are mostly captured around my hometown Hilversum. Ever since I was a little kid I’ve enjoyed nature around my hometown. From tiny bugs to these gentle giants called trees.
My love for woodland photography, or photography in general, only started about two years ago while biking through my local woodland on an absolutely stunning morning. I always loved being out in the woods for as long as I can remember, but this morning was something else. Fog everywhere, rays of light blasting through the forest canopy. The trees looked amazing, textures and colors where popping and the light just turned the whole forest into one big fairytale. After this particular morning, and with my hometown being surrounded by forests and heathlands, picking up my camera and choosing my main subject was an easy choice to make. And I’ve been out hunting, enjoying and sharing these magical moments ever since.
Hope you'll enjoy and if you see anything you would like on your wall, let me know and we'll try and make it happen.
Not really into the selling prints business just yet but if one of the images grabbed your attention and you want it on your wall. Let me know, we can work something out.

'Being able to grab my camera, jump on my bike and have so many options to go and shoot is a real blessing. The landscape around my hometown Hilversum changes from heathlands
to forests
and from sand dunes to wetlands. Enough photography options to keep me going for a long time. All gorgeous landscapes, and all within a 10 mile radius of my home.'
