As a commercial photography studio with our main base in The Netherlands, we regularly travel between Scotland and the continent for assignments in commercial photography, architecture and interiors. We try to combine this as much as we can with the pleasures that Scottish culture and landscape have to offer.
We are keenly aware that this travel dramatically increases our carbon footprint. To help mitigate this and to further contribute to a more sustainable future, we have started this grove in addition to our solar powered studio and solar powered home. We plan to let the grove grow and expand further and by doing so we hope to help create to a more sustainable future for all.

Here on the industrial estate in Heino, the next door neighbour of STUDIOVHF, turned 65 and just moved into his new home. I (Vincent) got an invite for a drink and celebrate the new steps in his live. In true Dutch tradition, a lot of people show an envelope on the invite to encourage visitors not to give crap presents, but a little donation instead. I am not a fan of that tradition. Also, Tjakko is not drinking as much coffee here in the office anymore like he used to do, so I have saved a bit of money. So why not plant some trees (He will get some empty envelopes though, HaHa)? Hi Tjakko, here are some trees, come and see them one day in the Scottish Highlands!Donated by Tjakko Spieard

I was asked to inspire the local photography club ‘Fotoclub Heino’ with a talk about portrait photography and portrait lighting techniques. Having good experience myself with camera clubs in both Zwolle and Falkirk, I invited the members to come to the studio. We had a very enjoyable and interactive evening and at the end of the night I was handed an envelope with a donation. That donation is now converted into trees in the lovely Scottish Highlands!Donated by STUDIOVHF

Planted on behalf our customer who planned a photo shoot in December and asked to be invoiced in the new year. They offered to pay extra for the privilege! As the interest isn't that high, and the customer uses our photo studio regularly, we would normally treat this as an extra customer service. In this instance however we accepted the offer, with more trees for our grove at the back of our mind08/02/2021

One of our customers was chuffed to bits with his portrait images that he decided to pay more than the actual amount on the invoice! A very kind gesture and converting that into trees makes us even more happy!Donated by STUDIOVHF
