VITA
Bernd Opitz began his career at the age of 22 as a music press photographer, then switched to still life photography, where he worked successfully for several years. Driven by curiosity and a desire for variety, he switched to interior, lifestyle, and people photography in the late 1990s, for which he is now known. Bernd works on the national and international market, is a member of the BFF in Germany and the AOP in England, and has received numerous awards. His clients and teams consider him a sports enthusiast and a cheerful creative person.
His work takes him to the most remote and sometimes breathtaking corners of the world, as well as to exciting urban locations, and it often seems as if he is always living out of a suitcase. But that is exactly what appeals to him, just as every new assignment fascinates him. Movement is everything!
Bernd is a member of the BFF Germany and AOP London / UK.
