About Jeffrey Van Daele

A passion for nature only came to Jeffrey at a later age, but since then he has built up an impressive record. He loves wildlife and black-and-white photography and always looks for a creative way to visualize his subjects. Jeffrey is a much-needed professional nature photographer and teacher. And more importantly, he is one of our most popular STARLING guides! Would you like to join a brand new Fujifilm X Ambassador on one of his travels? Then book a place while they’re still open!

Born teacher

It is not surprising that Jeffrey has a background in education: anyone who attended a workshop with him knows him as a passionate teacher. For years he has inspired nature photography with breathtaking images, practical tips and his infectious enthusiasm. Jeffrey likes to follow that line on his numerous photography trips. His motivation? Pass the passion! In 2018 he founded De Fotoschool for this: the ultimate combination of evening education and photo club, where Jeffrey teaches about photography and socializing in one place.
