Erik Hijweege

Erik Hijweege (1963) decided to follow his heart and change his career to become a photographer in 1998. In his personal work Hijweege has shown himself to be an explorer, fascinated by nature, with its romantic beauty and it’s overwhelming power. After 3 expeditions in Africa, he published Noir, a book of photographs on San tribes and African albinos. Hijweege started chasing big weather and tornadoes in 2006. This resulted in his first international solo show in New York and the Supercell book. His passion for Sublime Nature also took him to the largest waterfalls on Earth. These images were translated in poetic photogravures. The Remote project showing small houses in grand nature is his latest addition within the Sublime Nature theme.His passion for “the Sublime” and love for nature are combined in his Nibelungen project. Hundreds of thousands of starlings whirling in the sky before they go to sleep creating stormlike clouds in the skies. This series was exhibited at the Natuur Museum Fryslân.
