Hi, I’m Quirina Kamoen

Photography has always been a part of my life. I grew up with it, seeing the world through the eyes of my father, who had a passion for the raw, unfiltered moments of street photography. It wasn’t until 2017 that I started taking photography seriously. I joined a local photography club and explored many different genres of photography.

As I explored different genres, I found myself drawn to landscape, nature, and animal photography. At that time, I mainly photographed zoo animals and pets. In 2025, I discovered wildlife photography, and since then I’ve loved capturing wild animals in their natural habitat.

In 2021, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Unfortunately, this has limited my ability to pursue my passion for photography. Living with a chronic condition can be challenging, but I’m not someone who gives up easily. Instead, I prefer to focus on what I can do.

That mindset is reflected in my photography as well. I focus on the subjects I love most and make the most of every opportunity to get outdoors. Fibromyalgia has taught me to see the world differently, with greater awareness and a deeper appreciation for the present moment. I no longer feel the need to photograph everything the world has to offer. A special encounter with wildlife or a breathtaking landscape is often enough to make my day complete.

Since 2026, I’ve stepped away from social media for the most part. Instead of chasing the endless scroll, I’ve chosen to focus on sharing my photography adventures here on my website.
