About me
Greetings and welcome to my website! I am Carlos Vermeersch, a biologist and a passionate digital creator based in the Canary Islands, Spain. My work is driven by a deep appreciation for the natural world and history, and I strive to capture its beauty through diverse artistic mediums.
With a focus on wildlife photography, both with handheld cameras and drones, I explore various ecosystems, from the lush Amazon rainforest to the iconic Galápagos Islands. My photography aims to highlight animal behavior, the intricate relationships within nature and the vibrant life that thrives across different landscapes.
Through photogrammetry, I make elaborate and accurate 3D models of skeletal remains, fossils and ancient artifacts. In my work, I also enjoy visual storytelling and accompanying it with narratives behind the species and places the world has to offer.
Besides this, I also dabble in digital forensic facial reconstruction—which I learned at the University of Burgos—creating faithful depictions of people from the past from the 3D models I create through photogrammetry.
​
In addition to photography, I specialize in digital art, creating detailed scientific illustrations—accredited by the Museo de Naturaleza y Arqueología—and infographics that bring complex subjects to life.
Lastly, I also create historical maps with which I aim to visually narrate key moments in history in great detail, and that are characterized by being labeled in their native ancient languages and writing systems ​​to be as faithful as possible to the ancient sources.
When delving into the past to create my history-related content, I often turn to primary sources written in their original languages like Latin, Ancient Greek, Middle Persian, Old Persian and Arabic. For my nature-related content, I draw upon a combination of self-taught knowledge, university education, and field observations captured during my photographic trips. It is through this blend of sources and experiences that I seek to share my passion for history and nature with the world.
Join me on this journey as I document, illustrate, and celebrate the natural and historical wonders of our planet. Explore my galleries, read my blog for more detailed information and images, and embark with me on a captivating exploration, where the wonders of wildlife and history converge.
