Bram Berkien - Active Lifestyle Photographer jobs and careers

About Bram Berkien - Active Lifestyle Photographer

My focus as an active lifestyle photographer is on capturing images of athletes. I’m available for hire for both commercial and editorial assignments, working in the Netherlands and throughout Europe. My focus is on photographing athletes’ lifestyles. Personal and sincere contact with these persons is vital. I aim for my work to be accessible but not safe or conventional. My photos showcase the athlete’s energy, emotion and dedication, allowing viewers to really connect with and admire the athlete and their lifestyle. Timing and great light are essential elements for my work. Ultimately I like my photos to have a cinematic quality. Brands will benefit from these photos since they make the athlete look that tiny bit more epic and heroic, and showcase their character and hard work. Currently I’m taking commercial assignments that fit my style and interests. I’m convinced of the value of doing personal projects. It keeps me inspired and allows me to showcase what I’m capable of, in addition to having the opportunity to work with top athletes. These include world-class climbers and Olympic medalists. Climbing plays a major role in my life. In addition to being a dedicated climber myself, I’m the co-founder of the climbing platform Siked.
