About me, Sander Poppe

Love, Passion & Travel

Hello and welcome! My name is Sander Poppe (1984), born in Middelburg, The Netherlands.
Today, I live with my wife and son in the beautiful Alblasserwaard region, just a short drive from the famous windmills of Kinderdijk.

Photography as a Lifeline

My love for landscape photography began when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Photography soon became more than a hobby; it became my creative outlet—a way to slow down, clear my thoughts, and focus on the beauty around me. Alongside shooting new pictures every week, I enjoyed sharing my knowledge through workshops and lectures. Over the years, I also published several books about photography and the places that inspire me.

Chasing New Horizons

With this passion, discovering new landscapes has always been a joy. We often travelled to the United Kingdom, sometimes dreaming aloud about moving to Scotland or England—especially because the rugged coastlines there are so breathtaking. Standing on a cliff, with the sound of waves crashing below, is an experience that fills me with energy and peace.

Challenges and Change

Unfortunately, my health started to decline due to my diabetes, and chronic neurological pain still plays a major role in my daily life. Because of this, I no longer give workshops or lectures, and I travel less frequently.

The Sea in My Veins

Still, I never give up — the sea keeps calling me. Born in Zeeland, it’s’s no surprise that the coast continues to draw me in. Sometimes, it feels as though the sea flows through my veins. Whenever possible, we drive to beautiful locations. There, with my Fujifilm camera, Leofoto tripod, and of course, a good cup of coffee, I capture stunning landscape and seascape photographs .

Sharing My Vision

Did you know you can order many of these images as high-quality prints for your wall? That way, you can bring a piece of nature into your home.

So, that’s enough about me and my work. Enjoy the photographs on my website — and if you’d like, feel free to get in touch.
