Nature Photography

The images of, award winning, Werner Van Steen and Marion Demanet form the soul of Terra Live. Driven by a deep love for nature, they have spent many years travelling to some of the most untouched places on Earth, searching for those extraordinary moments when light, landscape, and life come together. Their work is more than nature photography; it tells stories of wonder, silence, and our connection with the planet.

Werner discovered his passion for adventure in the mountains and went on to become a renowned mountaineer and nature photographer. Since his encounter with the breathtaking wilderness of Alaska in 1999, he has devoted his life to capturing the most remarkable moments in the wild. His photography has received prestigious awards around the world, and his images have appeared in international publications.

Marion discovered her connection with nature through the mountains and rock climbing, where she found a profound harmony between people and the natural world. Through her collaboration with Werner, her passion for nature photography continued to grow. With her own intuitive perspective, she captures not only images, but above all the atmosphere, emotion, and soul of nature.

Together, Werner and Marion travel to some of the most extraordinary places on Earth, from the depths of the oceans to the highest mountain peaks, always with respect and wonder for the life around them. Their photography is an invitation to slow down, to truly look, and to feel the extraordinary beauty of our planet.

For Terra, they bring their unique images together in a story of wonder, connection, and love for Mother Earth. Their photography forms the visual soul of an experience where nature, music, and silence come together.

Live Music

Not a large orchestra, but a musical world carried by Guy Bijl, Steve Robbert, and Marion Demanet. Three musicians who each bring their own sound, colour, and expression, adding a unique dimension to this extraordinary experience.

Together with the nature photography, their music becomes a living story. Warm melodies, powerful voices, and atmospheric sounds take the audience on a journey through landscapes, emotions, and moments of wonder.

Marion Demanet brings a remarkable warmth and sensitivity to the performance through her beautiful voice. Her singing and musical versatility add an additional layer of emotion and connection.

Steve Robbert brings a powerful and deeply expressive musical presence. His voice and unique sound create depth and enhance the most intense moments of the journey.

Guy Bijl contributes a rich musical experience in which stillness, atmosphere, and connection are at the heart of his playing. Together with the other musicians, his contribution becomes part of a harmonious whole.

During Terra Live, image and music meet in a truly special way. The music accompanies the images, and the images inspire the music. Neither takes centre stage; together, they tell a single story.

An immersive experience in which nature photography, live music, and emotion flow together — inviting the audience to slow down, to feel, and to reconnect with the beauty of our Earth.
