About
Bart Brouwer is a documentary photographer and filmmaker based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. His work explores the interconnectedness between social and environmental issues, ranging from the impact of coal mining and leather tanning on workers, communities, and landscapes in India to the informal economies that shape the lives of migrant workers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. His stories highlight systemic injustice and the resilience of those living through it. He frequently collaborates with NGOs, grassroots movements, and mission-driven organizations.
With an academic background in human geography and international development, Bart brings a strong contextual understanding to his work, helping him grasp the broader global dynamics behind the personal stories he tells. Years of photographing daily life while traveling — from quiet landscapes to candid street scenes — further enrich his storytelling and reflect a deep curiosity for people and places.
Driven by a commitment to amplify the voices of those who are often unheard, he tells stories that aim to raise awareness and inspire meaningful change.
