I'm André Ruiter from The Netherlands. I have two great passions: travelling and landscape photography. These two passions complement each other very well. I shoot primarily in black and white, but when colors are irresistible I choose color. I find my inspiration in themes like: decay, melancholly and drama. That's the reason I prefer shooting during autumn and winter. For me autumn and winter are the most moody seasons. I'm lucky to live in a small village surrounded by old forests. This is my favorite playground.
