About me
Hi there!
My name is Robert van Sterkenburg and thank you for your interest in me and my story. I live in a small town called Oss in the Netherlands with my wife Inge, our daughter Liara, and two cats, Jack & Misty. In my daily life I have a full-time job as an application administrator.
Besides these things, I also have a great passion for photography, photo-editing and writing. They’ve led me to create this website, where I share practical photography tips and techniques with my readers. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced photographer, my goal is to help you improve your photography skills and knowledge through my content.
I started getting into photography in 2014. I was serving as a communications petty officer at the Royal Netherlands Navy. I bought a simple Panasonic compact camera before we left for a six-month counter-piracy mission near the horn of Africa, to document this journey. This inexpensive camera was not very remarkable, but it became very valuable to me as it recorded some of the best moments I have from that deployment.
I have many stories to tell from my navy days, but for now I'll just share some photos that I and my coworkers took while I was there.
My passion for photography started with this small camera, and after more than a decade of creating images I want to share my knowledge and the fun of photography and photo editing with others. I do this through informative articles, how to posts, and tutorials. I also have plans to create my own photography courses and offer personal coaching and mentorship plans in the future.
Thank you for reading and if you want to ask me anything or learn more about me, just hit me up on any of the social media links below!
