I am Wim van den Heever, the owner and managing director of Tusk, a passionate Nikon and Craghoppers Ambassador, wildlife and landscape photographer, and avid explorer of the outdoors. My mission is to showcase the exquisite beauty of nature and ensure its preservation for generations to come.
Immersed in the raw wilderness, far from human influence, each moment spent in pristine natural environments holds a profound place in my soul. The majesty of photographing magnificent creatures like elephant tuskers, lions, leopards, and whales brings me boundless fulfilment.
The true reward lies in the harmonious union of experience and skill, elevating your photography to extraordinary heights. Tusk has provided me with unforgettable moments, capturing Craig in the untamed landscapes of Amboseli and encountering elusive snow leopards in the awe-inspiring Himalayas. In my camera bag, the Nikon Z9 and Z8, along with a versatile lens collection, serve as my trusted companions.
Finding solace in simple pleasures, I indulge in biltong, pizza, and a glass of red wine while immersing myself in the beats and melodies of deep house music. Preserving nature and minimizing our impact on the delicate balance of ecosystems are paramount to me. Guided by the philosophy of “Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time,” I strive to be a responsible steward of the natural world.
