I’m Valerie Spanjers

a photographer & artist based in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
My camera has always been my tool to look at life full of wonder, and find beauty in the world around me.
I’m drawn to the ever changing light and colours of the seasons, and the movement of the elements like water and wind. They’re a reminder that we’re part of something bigger than ourselves. A freeing realisation in which the heaviness of the world fades for a moment, and all that is left is the beauty of the mystery of being alive. I hope that through my work I can share that same feeling of tranquility and wonder.

Next to my personal work I also love to pour my heart into the portraits that I make, and work as a freelance photographer for businesses and individuals (both in and outside of the Netherlands), which has been my full-time job since 2016.
