Bernard Castelein is based in Belgium and attaches great importance to photographing nature close to home. He has also travelled extensively in many regions of the world, with a particular fascination for high altitude regions such as the Andes and Himalayas, and has rich coverage on Indian and Madagascan wildlife and peoples. He was for many years Chairman of BVNF, the Belgian Society of Nature Photographers, and is closely involved in organising the FotoForum Brasschaat festival in the town where he lives. His latest project 100 Landscapes combines an exhibition and book focussing on the varied habitats of the Klein Schietveld, a haven for wildlife near Antwerp in densely populated Belgium.
