About
I'm David Dérogée, a Dutch amateur photographer with a passion for traveling and photography. Traveling fuels my energy & creativity. Armed with a backpack and camera, I explore everything from remote mountains to the bustling Arctics. The mountains hold a special place in my heart, from childhood to the Swiss Alps with my parents, to climbing and mountaineering in the French Alps (Chamonix) when I was in my twenties.
In 2018, I explored the Svalbard Archipelago and the Seven Islands, located at 48.9 degrees north latitude, where the pack ice to the North Pole starts, further firing my love for the amazing beauty of The Arctics. From unprecedented icebergs to amazing views, walrus, whales and polar bears. That's why there are still many locations on my bucket list in the Arctics as the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Lofoten & Vesterålen. In 2025, we purchased the renewed electric iconic VW ID campervan to further explore and photograph beautiful Europe during weekends and holidays.
My next trips:
Jun 2025: Faroe Islands
Jan 2026: Lofoten Archipelago
Location Haarlem, Netherlands
Gear
Starting with simple compact cameras back in the days. In 2006 I bought my first DSLR camera (Canon EOS 350D) for a roundtrip through China. After that I had several Canon cameras, both full frame and crop factor. I have always been enthusiastic about Canon and therefore always stayed with Canon, A few years ago I switched to the new RF-mount of the new Canon system camera series.
