His blood made of engagement, his thoughts of images. His pictures often in black and white, his view on life in many colors. Henk Braam is an award winning photograher who divides his time between travelling to developing countries for relief organizations and photographing in his hometown Nijmegen. His assignments have brought him around the world where he witnessed famine, war, oppression and natural disasters. His photographs carry strong messages of people and places. Braam has won several prizes including a first prize in the Dutch photo-contest 'Zilveren Camera' for a series of pictures about the student riots in Jakarta.

Fotograaf Henk Braam trad in 1993 in dienst van Amnesty International als fotoredacteur en werd in datzelfde jaar lid van het fotocollectief Hollandse Hoogte. De Stichting Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst kende hem in 1996 de Aanmoedigingsprijs Fotografie toe, naar aanleiding van zijn foto's uit India, Rwanda, Tibet en Nepal.
