Biography

Hello and welcome to my photography website! I am Karl Suykerbuyk, a natural-born photographer with a lifelong passion for capturing the world through my lens. My journey in photography began in childhood, inspired by my father, who was a part-time (photo) journalist (second occupation). From a young age, I was fascinated by cameras and quickly found myself yearning for more than just the basics. An automatic camera wasn’t enough for me—I had to shoot with a reflex camera to truly express my creativity.

I started my formal training with the Kalmthoutse Fotokring, gaining a solid foundation in photography. From there, I continued to develop my skills as a self-taught photographer. Since 2011, I have been actively taking pictures, continually evolving and refining my craft.
 
My specialties lie in sports and wildlife photography. Over the years, my equipment has also seen significant upgrades. I began with a Canon 7D paired with lenses like the CANON EF 70-200MM F/2.8L USM, CANON EF-S 17-55MM F/2.8 IS USM, and CANON EF 50MM F/2.5 COMPACT MACRO. As my needs grew, so did my gear. I added the Canon 7D Mark II, CANON EF 70-200MM F/2.8L IS II USM, and CANON EF 100MM F/2.8L MACRO IS USM to my kit.
