Merel den Daas (1969) lives in the Netherlands, in the city of Zaandam. She's been interested in nature all her life. At the age of 11 she got a slr camera and started taking pictures of the nature she loves so much. Merel started with black and white film which she developed and printed in the darkroom of her father. Later she began to use color. She began with pictures of landscapes and flowers. Now she's specialised in birds and especialy in birds in their natural behaviour. Landscapes, seascapes and still live aren't forgotten, she can't walk past and not take a photo. Merel prefers none or minimal editing of her photos.In may 2009 she has been on expedition to the arctic of Canada. She started in Resolute and travelled from there to Bathurst Island. In november 2009 she went to New Zealand. In 2010 she went to Iceland and had a solo exhibition that went very well.
