About

I’m Nader Bilgrami, a multidisciplinary artist based in the Netherlands with over two decades of experience across photography, film, and creative direction. I’ve collaborated with global brands such as Unilever, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, Honda, Marie Claire, Harvey Nichols, Bacardi, Martini, Grand Hyatt, Etihad Airways, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Karl Lagerfeld, ECCO, Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, and more, delivering visual stories that connect people and ideas. My practice spans photography, cinematography, art direction, and design, with a passion for pushing boundaries and telling authentic stories through image and motion.

Beyond the camera, I’m excited by how technology and AI can expand creative ranges. I’m comfortable telling stories that resonate, mentoring teams, and staying calm under pressure on set. While I’m older than the average candidate, I bring sharpened instincts, deep curiosity, and a love of learning—whether on set in the Netherlands, or collaborating with colleagues from around the world.
