Talitha Brauer

I choose to love with my camera. I specialise in portraiture and documentary storytelling. I have an affinity for people who live cross-culturally because I spent my childhood in three different cultures. I lived in the USA until I was six years old, then in Ireland until I was fifteen, and finally spent my last three years of high school attending an international boarding school in Germany.

I attended college in Michigan at a liberal arts school, Hillsdale College. Since graduating, I have lived in Philadelphia, Prague, and Berlin, my current home.

I'm a fine artist working in photography and documentary film with 10+ years of NGO experience. In 2016, I co-founded the platform Brother's Keeper International, an online home for stories of refugees and communities that welcome them.

After highlighting refugee narratives for five years, I turned my focus to landscapes: connecting people to beauty where they are, to appreciate the beauty of other lands without having to go there in person.

I also explore landscapes during my weekly art therapy session, where I make impressionistic and abstract paintings using watercolours and oil pastels.

Previous clients include Save the Children, Al Jazeera, Welcome Home International and Snapshots from the Borders. I have a soft spot for working with indie musicians on their cover art and music videos.

I'm available for assignments worldwide.
