My name is Jet van Och-van Hout, and I live in Best, the Netherlands. Through this website, I'm excited to share some of my cherished memories with you. Traveling is my passion, and photography is a hobby. Nature and culture are where I draw my inspiration from. For me, the act of creating memories is paramount, and it outweighs the technical perfection of my photographs.
 

My heart is drawn to Africa and its wildlife, with Kenya holding a special place in my affections. The quote by Ernest Hemingway, "I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke that I was not happy," resonates deeply with me. The experience of awakening to the symphony of nature and the spectacle of a radiant African sunrise is incomparable. Just the thought of it fills me with warmth and joy.
 

The vibrant colors and rich culture of Central America captivate me, as does the ambiance of European cities. In the Netherlands, the allure of the Dutch coast and the enigmatic realm of macro photography hold my fascination.
 

Within my gallery, you'll discover a collection of photographs (presented in a small format) capturing the places I've journeyed to and the magnificent world that surrounds us. Each photo is a personal capture and is not available for use without permission. Should you have any inquiries or interest in obtaining a copy of a photo, please reach out to me at info@jetvanoch.nl for further details.
