We are Martin Sikma and Pleun Bonekamp, a photography couple from the Netherlands, travelling around the world in our Land Rover Defender expedition camper since 2023.

We’re currently overlanding the Pan-American Highway, a journey from Alaska to Patagonia that we began in spring 2024. Having covered nearly two-thirds of the route, we’re now in Ecuador, continuing our journey south through South America.

Before pursuing photography professionally, we both built careers in science, earning PhDs in Meteorology (Martin) and Climatology (Pleun). Our scientific backgrounds continue to shape the way we see the world, bringing a critical eye, curiosity, and attention to detail to our photography.

Over the years, photography has become an increasingly important part of our lives. In the beginning, our focus was almost entirely on wildlife and nature photography, a passion we still share today.
