Bram Declercq Belgium

Based in Belgium, Bram Declercq is a photographer who works for both brands and agencies.

Bram sees light as a tool that gives form and shape to his subject, whether it's an object or people. Because of his technical background, this is translated into very balanced and pure imagery.

International brands like Thule (RV accessories), IVC Group (vinyl floors and part of Mohawk Group) and Televic (conference and healthcare equipment market leader), have given him their confidence. Next to big brands, Bram also likes to create a vision for smaller brands, and he always applies the same set of skills and passion.

Cars are a big passion because of the delicate lines and shapes that live within the design. To bring these forward is almost like writing poetry with light and gives Bram a great deal of satisfaction - it comes very close to the essence of the craft of photography.

Glenn Mostert The Netherlands

"My name is Glenn Mostert, I’m a commercial portrait photographer from The Netherlands (but will travel).

I love to make portraits, and I have been photographing for more than 10 years; the last seven years on a professional level. When I take a portrait, it is not just me pushing a button on a camera; it is the interaction between me and the person in front of the camera that makes the picture. 

Of course the use of light and creative post-production create a certain style. But the social aspect of an image is very important. Luckily, I am an easy going guy and I am able to connect with the subject really well. Thank you for looking at my images, I would love to create a lot more great portraits in the future and look forward to any opportunities to work together. 

For my portfolio please visit my website or social media."
