Over the years, I have presented my nature photography in numerous solo and group exhibitions, both nationally and internationally.
Each exhibition reflects my deep respect for wildlife and untouched landscapes, inviting viewers to slow down and reconnect with the natural world.
Through carefully curated series, I highlight fragile ecosystems, intimate animal behavior, and the poetic beauty of changing seasons.
These exhibitions not only showcase my artistic vision but also serve as a platform to raise awareness about conservation and the importance of protecting our planet for future generations.
Exhibitions
Exhibitions Gallery Blomme - Roeselare - Belgium 2020
During the coronavirus period, it was fortunately still possible to visit museums and exhibitions. At Galerij Blomme, for example, nature photographer Regi Popelier presented 40 of his photographs from around the world.

Despite the restrictions and safety measures, visitors were eager to attend. People even stood in line outside the gallery, patiently waiting their turn to enter. The strong turnout, even during COVID, showed how much art and nature photography continued to inspire and connect people in challenging times.
The Call of Nature - Wielsbeke - Belgium 2021
It was a unique exhibition in which nature and the preservation of wildlife stood at the heart of my work.
From my collection, I presented approximately 35 images (ranging from 40 cm wide to 2 meters), captured during 20 years of photographic journeys across six continents. Through these images, I took visitors on a journey to places that are often unknown to many:
* Polar bears from the Arctic and the vast herds of wildebeest on the African plains.
* Deep jungles in South America and endangered tigers in India.
* Mysterious rainforests in South America and chinstrap penguins in Antarctica.
* Grizzly bears and bison in Yellowstone National Park.
* Silverback gorillas in Uganda and macaques in Japan.

Heavy rains in Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
© Regi Popelier (Photographer of the Year 2018 entrant)
The wet or green season in the Maasai Mara happens from November to April. In this season there are two rainy periods: the short rains in November and the heavy rains in April and May. Many lodges and camps may close over the heavy rainy period because dirt roads turn muddy, rivers flood their banks, and visitor numbers are lower.
This image was runner-up in a contest of National History Museum for photographer of the year 2012.
Autumn Flight
Hokkaido Japan is an incredible place to be in autumn.
Red crowned Crane birds are an endangered species and stayed high on my list of favorite places/animals.
