Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove | Photographer Inspired by Iceland

Welcome everyone to another episode of the TRVL° Photography Podcast. In this episode we sit down with Iceland based photographer and filmmaker Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove to explore the story behind his creative journey and the experiences that shaped his connection to nature, travel, and visual storytelling.Jeroen’s love for exploration began early in life. Growing up in Belgium he spent much of his childhood travelling with his family across Europe, often surrounded by mountains, forests, and vast open landscapes that sparked a deep curiosity for the natural world. Those early adventures planted the seeds for a lifelong obsession with wilderness, freedom, and the feeling of discovering places far beyond the ordinary.Over time that passion evolved into a career built around photography, filmmaking, and adventure. What began as a fascination with landscapes eventually led Jeroen to Iceland, a country whose raw beauty and ever changing conditions became both his home and his greatest source of inspiration. From volcanic deserts and towering glaciers to violent storms and endless midnight light, Iceland offered the kind of untamed environment that perfectly matched his creative vision.In this conversation we dive into Jeroen’s life story, the challenges and uncertainties that came with pursuing a creative path, and the lessons he learned while turning his passion into a full time career. We talk about his connection to solitude, his attraction to remote places, and how nature continues to shape both his photography and his outlook on life.Jeroen also shares insights into working in extreme environments, capturing cinematic aerial imagery, and the importance of patience and presence when creating meaningful work in the outdoors. His journey is a reminder that photography is often about far more than images alone.If you want to learn directly from Jeroen, you can also check out his Drone Masterclass and use the code TRVL30 for 30% off: https://dronemasterclass.photoFollow Jeroen’s work hereWebsite – https://jvn.photo/Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/jvn.photo/Cheers and see you in the next episodeTRVL° Photographyhttps://trvlphotography.com/
