  Vica Rosario Bogaerts, Netherlands

As a mother, watching my five-year old navigate the rocks on the beach is witnessing adventure in its purest form. Her natural curiosity turns the shorelines into a playground. Captured in this photo is more than a moment, it's a glimpse of life's adventure as seen through her inquisitive eyes.

Vica Rosario, a Dutch photographer with a professional background in international development, offers a unique perspective through her work. Through her extensive global travels, she has had invaluable encounters with diverse cultures.

Currently residing in Vietnam, Vica has discovered her passion for photography, which she explores through a diverse portfolio encompassing street, travel, and portraiture. Guided by a candid lens, her artistic focus centers on capturing the authenticity of her subjects by preserving often unnoticed moments, while also revealing the hidden beauty.
