ANDRÉ BAKKER

PHOTOGRAPHY

GIVE ME A CHALLENGE!

From extensive art projects to single photographs in which every detail is perfect: The camera is André Bakker’s passion. Although his work starts at a much earlier point: With his extraordinary eye for personalities and settings, André develops and manages photography projects with a wide range of characters, from Kate Winslet to Ozzy Osbourne – worldwide, unconventionally and authentically. He captures personalities from an angle that nobody has yet seen them from.

Pushing the shutter release at the exactly right moment is only the icing on the cake.
