Episode Synopsis

Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove is a Belgian-Icelandic nature and landscape photographer based in Reykjavík, internationally acclaimed for his striking imagery of volcanic eruptions and Iceland’s untamed wilderness. Since 2021, Jeroen has dedicated his focus to documenting the Central Highlands and photographing active eruptions, including the Fagradalsfjall and Sundhnúksgígar events. Having now captured 11 volcanic eruptions, he has built a rare and powerful visual record of Iceland’s ever-changing geology.
 
His work reveals the raw energy and surreal beauty of Earth in motion. As a licensed photography guide, Jeroen leads immersive workshops and private expeditions across Iceland and Greenland, granting participants rare access to volcanic sites, glacial landscapes, and remote highland regions. His tours centre on safety, sustainability, and cultivating personal connection to nature.
 
In conversation, Jeroen shares his journey from hobbyist to professional photographer, inspired by early travels and a life-changing trip to Iceland. He opens up about the technical and emotional challenges of photographing volcanic eruptions, the creative impact of living in Iceland, and the essential role of marketing in building a photography career. Jeroen also reflects on responsible tourism, his photographic philosophy, and the profound sense of wonder that drives his work.
 
His photography invites viewers to witness the Earth’s heartbeat — alive, evolving, and endlessly inspiring.
