Aubrey Stoll says:
"Well, what can I say about Henk Meijer that hasn't been said before in comments and critiques? I'll give it a try:
The work of Henk is a lesson and masterclass in photography. Pay particular attention to his use of light, soft light that is. A guarantee of great pictures is to choose soft and golden light, this is key and Henk has opened the door for all of us to learn.
His structure of composition, accuracy of processing and crispness of image delivers the quality we have all come to expect from his postings. From the days I first encountered his work on the Trek Earth site in 2006 to this day, the quality of Henk's photography has been consistently impressive and never fails to inspire.
Keep inspiring us Henk; I shall be watching your work closely."29th November, 2011

"What can I say about Henk and his photograpy? Well ... nothing and everything :-)
Nothing because I often am speechless about his pictures and do nothing more than open my eyes very wide and enjoying a lot.
Everything, because Henk isn't only a good photographer, but also a very charming and heartwarming person with a lot of respect for nature and people and a very healthy amount of humour.
Most of my knowledge of photography I have learned from him, he keeps inspiring me.
I hope to see his beautiful pictures on Flickr for a very long time!"28th January, 2010

"Your photos are moments of pleasure about places. Photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
Thanks for sharing with us your great work."12th July, 2009

"My first time ever to write a testimonial here on Flickr. I've only seen very few of Henk's photos but from what I've seen, I can already tell he's a very professional, dedicated and a very talented artist. A lot of people can take photographs nowadays, but not a lot can take beautiful, well-presented, well thought-out light-and-color infused photos like Henk does. I know that's too many adjectives for a testimonial, but they're all deserving. Hope to see more of his work."

"I have had the pleasure to meet, drink beer and photograph with Henk.
His work speaks for itself and he seems to get better and better - that is the scary thing. Seeing the man himself work was a real eye opener for me in terms of my progression in photography.
I would love for him to come back to NZ one day for sure.
A real pleasure Henk. See you one day again."20th June, 2009

luisAfonso says:
"Light is the heart of photography. Everybody knows that. 'The ability to see subtle changes in the light on a subject is a key to professional quality work and is part of what makes a photograph not a snap shot.' Back in the XVII century there was a guy named Rembrandt who also was aware of this. His purposeful use of light and shade to create atmosphere in his works took him beyond the conventional. He even used it not only to create drama, but also to compose the entire painting. Light was his salvation.
This brief prologue has only the purpose to introduce Henk, who I friendly like to see as a reincarnation of the old Flemish masters. If the challenge of all good photography is the control of light, Henk is surely one of the best photographers this world has to offer. Other than that, he has an impressive ability to compose and frame the reality in a way that always enriches the photographed subject. His technical skills are tremendous and you will have to work hard to find a single imperfection in one of his pictures. A true photographer."17th June, 2009

"cannot belive the "Testimonials" field is empty here :) not for long, I'm sure.
it's not secret that most of what I know about landscape photography I have learned from Henk. [disclaimer: the fact that I still know very little is due exclusively to my lazy and chaotic nature, and not, repeat NOT due to the quality of Henk's advice :))] his photos are constant source of inspiration, and his comments - constant source of education and humor. I'm glad I know you, Henk :)"9th June, 2009
