Boris Bertram was born in Essen in 1971 and now lives in Cologne with his wife and son. Thanks to his father's profession of developing and building professional lighting systems for photo studios, his love for photography developed very early in life.

In the 90s, Boris specialised in one of Germany's leading photo studios, learning everything from perfect lighting to handling large format cameras. He has since worked for several studios and began his freelance career in 2008.

Boris now specialises in people, portait and industry photography on location,  in the studio, and worldwide. For his clients in the industrial sector he has also realised several very complex, month-long time-lapse videos.

Boris has worked for numerous agencies including Castenow, Grey, Butter, Gramm and Echtzeit for clients including Vallourec, SMS Group, FMT Gruppe, DEKRA, WILO, Sidestep, Deloitte and more.
