Event photography Berlin - Professional business photos and portraits with character

Hello, I’m Dima – a professional photographer in Berlin specializing in events and business portraits throughout Germany. With a keen eye for detail, atmosphere, and emotion, I help you convey your ideas visually in a strong and compelling way.

For over 25 years, I worked in photojournalism, including for international agencies and media. This experience has taught me to work reliably, respond flexibly, and think creatively – even under challenging conditions.
Based in Berlin, I am available for assignments not only throughout Germany but also across Europe — and I am more than happy to travel to wherever your project takes me.

As an event photographer in Berlin and across Europe, I don't create a collection of loose images, but a coherent, vivid photo story that captures the spirit of your event.
More than two decades in the highly competitive world of photojournalism are your guarantee for the highest reliability, speed and quality. This experience has honed my ability to make the right decisions for outstanding shots at lightning speed, even during the event. A reporter's reaction speed is crucial - a skill that I bring to every event reportage and which ensures that no important moment is lost.
In addition, my sound artistic training gives me a trained eye for image composition and aesthetics. This gives me additional confidence in creating compelling images and the high-quality post-processing of your photographs to get the best out of every shot.
Let my experience as a photojournalist capture the story of your event in impressive, meaningful and professional images. Contact me to discuss your event!

Every event, whether a private dinner, international conference or lively meetup in Berlin, is a unique story with its own dramaturgy: beginning, climax and finale. It has main characters and those important details in the background that create atmosphere.
My approach to event photography is based on over 20 years of experience as a photojournalist, including for leading international news agencies. This has taught me not just to take pictures, but to see the story as it unfolds. I instinctively sense the rhythm of an event, anticipate key moments and know how to capture the exact emotion or decisive look that will become the centrepiece of your photo reportage.
Understanding dramaturgy: I know where the beginning is, how not to miss the climax and why the finale is important for a well-rounded narrative.
Focus on the essentials: I can emphasise key characters and moments without losing the atmosphere and important background details.
Media experience: I understand exactly which images are needed for the press, publications or an effective company report and which will become valuable personal memories.
My experience in reportage photography makes event photography a clear and well-rehearsed process for me. I am ready to professionally capture your event of any size:
Corporate events: Conferences, presentations, team buildings, corporate party photography.
Business meetings: Meetups, negotiations, business breakfasts.
Private events: anniversaries, celebrations, important family moments.
Cultural and public events.

Every person is unique, and portrait photography in Berlin or any other city should reflect that. I offer the following styles:
Business Portraits and Headshots

• Description: Your professional image in a single frame. A business portrait is ideal for official websites, LinkedIn profiles, corporate materials, CV photos, and any other platform where making a strong first impression is crucial. A corporate portrait or a headshot concisely showcases your personality and professionalism. My experience as a reportage photographer for leading media has taught me to quickly grasp the essence and create expressive, confident images for your personal branding photoshoot that work for you.
• Purpose: To emphasize professionalism, build trust, and create a presentable image for business communications and strengthening your personal brand.

Lifestyle Portraits

• Description: Natural and emotional photographs taken in Berlin or any other city a familiar and comfortable setting for you: at home, in the office, or during a walk in your favorite spot for your lifestyle photoshoot. Lifestyle portraits are about dynamics, genuine emotions, and a reflection of your real life and personality. Here, my journalistic skill as a lifestyle photographer to see and capture the moment helps create lively, natural portraits full of ease.
• Purpose: To show the real you in everyday life, convey atmosphere and mood, and create sincere and warm memories.

Conceptual and Artistic Portraits

• Description: A creative photoshoot in Berlin or any other city that goes beyond the traditional approach, designed to reveal your deep inner world, an idea, or a metaphor. These artistic portraits can be abstract, mysterious, even slightly unconventional, but they always carry profound emotional meaning and invite reflection. My artistic education and keen eye as an art photographer allow me to find non-standard visual solutions for the boldest conceptual portrait ideas.
• Purpose: Creative self-expression, creating a unique artistic image, exploring the inner self through an art portrait.

Classic Portraits

• Description: Elegant and meticulously crafted images, perfect for preserving special life moments. A classic portrait session in Berlin or any other city can take place in a studio, in the city, or in nature. These portraits will become beautiful interior decorations, part of the family archive, or a thoughtful gift for loved ones. Classics, filled with light and meaning.
• Purpose: To create timeless, aesthetically refined images, preserving memories of important events and people.

My approach to a portrait photoshoot is always personalized. The main goal is to bring out your personality and meet your expectations, drawing on my many years of professional experience as an experienced photographer in Berlin.

• First, we discuss your goals, choose the most suitable genre (or a combination) and location for your portrait session (outdoors, in the studio, at your home, or another significant place for you).
• We select outfits and clothing, and plan the number of location and wardrobe changes. At this stage, I can offer recommendations based on my experience working with stylists for media projects.
• If necessary, we decide on any additional equipment or props needed to achieve the best possible results for your portraits.
• After preliminary planning, we schedule a convenient date and time.
• Typically, a portrait session (lifestyle, conceptual, classic) lasts 1-2 hours, depending on the chosen locations and number of outfit changes.
• Creating more complex and unique portraits that require the involvement of makeup artists, stylists, or special locations may take longer to prepare and incur additional costs, but the result will be truly impressive. My job is to make this process as comfortable and creative for you as possible.
• You will receive your finished, carefully selected, and edited photographs within 3-5 working days (usually within 3 days) via a convenient online gallery. I value your time, so the efficiency developed over years in photojournalism is one of my priorities when creating your high-quality portraits.

I am convinced that a good portrait taken can not only reflect appearance but also tell a story, convey character, and evoke emotions. My unique blend of over 20 years of experience as a photojournalist for major media outlets (Associated Press, Financial Times), a deep understanding of visual storytelling, and an artistic education will help us create precisely such photographs – unique, personal, and truly yours. Photographer Dima Brushko is your choice for creating memorable portraits.
