My name is Bjorn van Sinttruije, I'm an amateur photographer based in Ridderkerk, Holland. Photography has been my passion for the last few years, and I hope to gain more experience and skill over time. For me, taking photos is a great way to discover new people and new places.
My favourite sorts of photography: wildlife, portraits and candid.

The gear I use:
- Sony DSLR-A700 with VG-C70AM battery grip
- Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T* 16-80mm f/3.5-4.5 ZA (soon to be replaced)
- 70-200mm f/2.8 G SSM
- HVL-F42AM flash gun
- LowePro CompuTrekker AW backpack
- Manfrotto 055XB tripod + 484RC2 ball-head + 680B monopod

The gear I hope to be using soon:
- Full frame Sony Alpha
- up next: Zeiss 24-70mm f/2.8 SSM
- Zeiss 85mm f/1.4
- Sony 50mm f/1.4
- Sony 300mm f/4 G SSM (not announced yet, rumoured only)

Future aspirations:
I'd like to go professional some day, shoot for magazines like National Geographic and have a studio at the same time. A shop with the latest camera equipment is something I'd like to start as well, combined with being a professional photographer.
