Bas Meelker is a well-known Dutch wildlife and landscape photographer. Born in Groningen, The Netherlands in 1972, Bas spent most of his life in the north of Holland. Living in this flat, open country, surrounded by some of the most beautiful nature reserves in the Netherlands laid the foundation of his unbridled passion for nature and landscapes. Having a background in internet marketing and sales, as well as webdesign and development though, Bas was on his way to becoming a successful internet entrepreneur.

But in 2002 his carrier took an unexpected turn when he picked up his first camera. Through photography, Bas found a way of communicating about his nature and landscape passion and he quickly established himself as a successful nature- and landscape photographer. Nowadays, Bas is widely recognized as being one of the top Dutch nature- and wildlife photographers and is working as a full-time professional photographer.
