Background
Hi, my name is Luuk Wijk. Which might look unpronounceable to you, I understand. I was born between the colourful flower fields of Holland in the spring of '89. By reaching the semi-mature age of twenty-one, I decided that those fields were too flat and I traveled to the mountains.
I bounced happily between continents for some years and eventually found my home in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. My PO box can be found in Jasper, Alberta. My tent and vehicle somewhere in the surrounding mountains.
I got hooked on photography while traveling. Through this medium I was able to show my digital “friends” were I was, what I saw and how my world was ever-changing.
Luuk Wijk Photography is still based on that principal and is nowadays focused on capturing mountain landscapes and year-round adventures in the Canadian Rockies.
