Hello, my name is Kaj. I was born and raised in Belgium, but I also have Swedish and Norwegian roots. This has lead to a strong love for Scandinavia and especially its nature.
In daily life I’m a masters degree student in Industrial Design. Whenever I can, I use photography as a medium to express myself.

When photography became a bigger part of my life, I decided it was time to come up with a brand name. One night a friend and I invented it - Snaplöv was born! But a good brand needs a logo. Michelle Miesel, a fellow exchange student during my time in Rovaniemi, designed mine. (Like it? Make sure to check out her work!) After that, I started designing and coding the website using Themes Juice template.

What I love about photography is the ability to pass on knowledge trough a single picture. Nature is my main source of inspiration, from deep within the forgotten forests to rarely visited mountaintops. Through my pictures I want to pass on how I felt like while taking them.

Back in 2013 I bought my first secondhand DSLR camera and one year later a secondhand full frame DSLR followed. I learned most of my post processing skills through friends, articles and YouTube.
In 2015 I won my first photography competition. Later that year another picture was featured in an article about Lapland in National Geographic Traveler Spain.
I am not yet sure what 2016 will bring, but I will make the best of it!

Currently I am very busy with my studies, therefor I can't take on too many jobs. Nevertheless, I am always open for new projects. If you are interested in using one of my pictures, you can always send me a message. I will gladly answer any questions and help you in any way possible.
