Bram Verhees, Ph.D. (1977) is a photographer, teacher and social entrepreneur with a lifelong fascination for the visual arts.
After graduating cum laude from Eindhoven University of Technology, he completed his PhD dissertation on the use of images as sources for socio-technical research. Subsequently, as assistant professor, he taught courses such as image analysis and visual research methodology.
After a career switch, he studied Miksang contemplative photography, systems therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). Bram developed a form of therapeutic photography that he refers to as visual awareness training. He uses this method as a therapist at a private occupational burn-out recovery clinic in Spain. In addition to this, he teaches to all ages and skill levels via institutions such as:
- Nederlandse Fotovakschool
- Dutch Filmers Academy
- Regionaal Instituut Cultuur- en Kunsteducatie
- Kunstkwartier
