Freelance Photographer

Media & Entertainment

Hello! I'm Bart, a highly experienced professional photographer and retoucher with an extensive background in the skateboarding industry.   I work in both the digital and analog worlds, and have extensive experience in location and studio shooting. As a freelancer, I'm very knowledgeable in file management, image processing, and photoshop techniques & workflows.  I'd love the opportunity to work with a team of people in a more corporate photographic environment, and I believe a studio photography, product photography or production assistant position would be a great fit!

I’ve been fortunate enough to spend the last 15 years producing images for a wide variety of brands, companies, and publications.
