Marieke DE BRA

I’m straightforward and curious, as is
my approach to the subject I photograph.
I like to make hybrid documentary portraits.
Often I direct the subject to make them blend
in into their environment.
I enjoy straight lines and dynamic energies.

I obtained a bachelor’s degree in Television
Journalism before I graduated in Documentary
Photography at the AKV|St.Joost academy in 2013.
In commissioned- as well as in free work, I focus
on reportage- and portrait photography for different
clients. I’ve also participated in events from Talkshows at Pakhuis de Zwijger to national television, to speak about my personal projects: Mannen met potentie and, first documentary film, Mama.

I am very happy to work with anyone, so please feel addressed to get in touch if you think we can make something special and peculiar. Looking forward to meeting you!



Not all of my (commercial) work is exhibited on my website, so feel free to get in touch with questions or inquiries about past, present and future projects.
