Landscape nominee

At a height of 4.800 mtr is a geothermal area that extends over 10 km² near Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat. This beautiful, otherworldly landscape is lined with geysers, bubbling mud pots and the distinct smell of sulfur.

I was here, at the geiser 'Sol de Mañana' (Morning Sun), a few weeks ago, very early in the morning to enjoy this beautiful, fascinating view . . .

De Jager commenced her creative career as purchaser for interior designer Mag for the Bijenkorf, after which she decided to shift her focus onto Garden- and Landscape Architecture, specialising in Green Spaces Heritage.

During her studies she discovered her passion for highlighting the colour riches of shades of 'green' and she decided to complete her education by a brief follow-up study at the renowned Amsterdam Photography Academy.

De Jager grew up in Heiloo, as daughter of a flowerbulbgrower and lived in Bergen aan Zee for fifteen years. Her love for the sea and for ‘green’ is clearly identifiable in her photographic art, in which experts say she continues to surprise with detailed images and a unique blending of natural colours.
