Interview with Bertrand van der Berg - Digital Marketing for Photographers - Ep. #9

“Don’t let your gear be an excuse…” — Bertrand van der Berg

In this episode of the podcast, I interview Bertrand van der Berg. Bertrand is a professional photographer, qualified mechanical engineer, and mostly rehabilitated web developer from South Africa. His career went from designing products, to marketing the products, to developing websites for these products to professional photographer. Through most of his life photography was a passion, but not his main income. That has changed over the last few years and he happily spends his time behind the lens now. His paid and published work includes fashion, beauty, editorial, portrait, and product photography for various publications both print and digital and he also does street photography. He has published photographs with established brands including The Sunday Times, Channel24, GoDaddy, DKNY, and Dior.
