Netherlands

I am a Dutch photographer who is specialized in a typical kind of a classic regatta: Skûtsjesilen. A regatta with former cargo ships of more than 100 years old representing their cities. These ships have been transformed through the years into racing yachts, but with their typical characteristics preserved. I have been sailing as a crew member for years. A health issue unfortunately made me leave the sport and then I decided to join the races as photographer instead of sailor. These days I am photographing the regatta's for the newspapers and magazines in the Netherlands. You can find my work on https://www.thomasvaer.frl
