My name is Ziggy Wellens and it’s my pleasure to introduce you to my passion: the challenge of capturing that single moment in time, the light that shows us the color in life, a reflection into an everlasting and cherished memory.
Born in Belgium and based in Qatar, I’m a self-taught photography enthusiast with a love the Arabian horse and a fascination for the scenery around me.
I look forward to meeting you soon and invite you to follow me onmy website, Flickr or Instagram.

Old & New shown by nature
This photo was taken during our way up the mountain to visit the Ruines du Château de Wildenstein. I really liked this specific scenery as i felt it showed the contrast between the old & new through nature. Having the contrast of the fallen rotting logs and leaves with the nice green mosses that cover them and the new trees which will replace the old.
The circle of life ...
This was taken during a 5 day family holiday in the Alsace region of France, visiting the Route Des Vins and the beautiful mountains located amongst them.
