Portfolio – Phanhabs

The Phanhabs books were published by twikga Verlag in 2010 and 2013. Phanhabs stands for “phantastic habitats”, creative impressions of the habitats of wild African animals. Savanna shows you classic rolling grasslands dotted with thorny trees, whilst Lush Bush gives an impression of the green habitats in African wetlands. You will see how the seasons change and how the animals spend their day playing, hunting, feeding and sleeping. The hiding places and names of the animals can be found in the back of the book.

The books were illustrated by Tanja Dekker. The illustrations are a mix of photographs, drawings and collages. The pictures were taken by Willem and Tanja Dekker during their safaris in Africa. The landscapes and animals were photographed and combined with patterns made on paper and drawings. All the elements were merged in photoshop.
