Sunrise bathes the Mesquite Sand Dunes in California's Death Valley National Park in pinks and oranges and creates the shadows that emphasize the wind-whipped dunescapes.

Floris has a PhD in neuroscience-inspired engineering. When he’s not out photographing, Floris can be found in his lab working out how insect brains work. This scientific mindset has had a strong influence on his photography, and he is interested in discovering and sharing interesting natural phenomenon through unique and curiosity-inspiring imagery.
Help us harness the power of photography to advance scientific knowledge, spread awareness of important issues and nurture a global love for nature.
