Willem Kolvoort has been taking underwater photographs for more than 30 years and although he has worked in many different parts of the world, his specialty is freshwater life in the dykes and lakes of his native Netherlands. He prefers to work in the wild documenting life from tiny water fleas to giant pike.He rarely uses aquariums preferring the diffuse light of natural situations that often makes for more mysterious images. His favourite location is his own garden pond which is full of aquatic plants and wildlife.
