Eelco Roos was an IT specialist at IBM Amsterdam for more than 10 years.
But his biggest passion was always photography, and after he saw his Instagram followers grow past 100,000, he quit his IBM job.
Now Roos is one of the most popular Instagram photographers, with more than 433,000 followers. Some of the world’s biggest brands, including Samsung and Sony, reach out to him to collaborate.
Roos tells Business Insider his Instagram fame is “a dream come true.”
Here's his story, and some of his most beautiful work.
Roos worked at IBM Amsterdam for over 10 years."Working in IT was never my dream job. Photography has always been a big passion of mine, a creative outlet so to speak," he tells us.
When he first downloaded Instagram's app, he didn't pay much attention to it. "It was hard to believe that a mobile device would be able to take good photos," he says.
Then one day, while waiting for a train, he was bored and started taking some photos with Instagram. He was immediately hooked.
He wanted to show others how great it was that you could take beautiful smartphone photos with just some basic photography skills.
