Koninklijke Burgers' Zoo 🇳🇱

Royal Burgers' Zoo is a zoo in Arnhem, Netherlands, and is one of the biggest zoos in the country. Arnhem is a city that lies within the Veluwe, a nature park in the east of the Netherlands. The zoo is popular with both Dutch and German people, and receives about 1 million visitors annually. It was founded by Johan Burgers in 1913.

A trip to the zoo: dusted off the old kit zoom lens and, defying all conventions, shot everything in black and white! We’re not going for colorful pictures here, but for the classic, high-contrast black and white look so that the wildlife really pops.
