We are very happy to present one of the photographers that is participating in
Lizelle de Wit from South Africa
Biography:
"Born in the spring of 1972, one of four children and the baby of the family, I grew up in the North-Western part of South Africa with two brothers and a sister. Went to school in Brits, and though school life was not that exciting, I really loved the ‘Voortrekkers’, something similar to Scouts. We used to go camping, slept under the stars and did night walks during the full moon having to find treasure by using clues along the route. Needless to say, we often got lost in the process.
I have fond memories of my childhood, with visits to my grandparents’ game farm definitely in the top 10 and I guess this is where my love for nature started. We spent hours riding around on a donkey cart seeing who could spot antelope first, sitting around the campfire or just wandering around in the bushveld. I met my husband Chris while I was in school. We dated for several years and got married in 1992 and two years later our son was born. I worked for eleven years as a personal assistant until my husband took up a position at the United Nations in Vienna in September 2003.
For the past 8 years I have been a homemaker, mother of a teenager, passionate cyclist and hobby photographer. I love travelling, capturing beautiful images all around me and living in this beautiful city, Vienna.
