Livorno 2025

Bio

For over 40 years, the American/British photographer Richard Bram has been walking the streets of the world in search of the special moments of everyday life. He has worked on large public events and intimate private moments, always looking for the significant gesture to animate his photographs. His approach is straight: In black & white or color, he doesn't set up a photo or alter the scene. The photograph is either there or it is not.

Photography style & work

Born in Philadelphia, USA, in 1952, Bram has been a professional photographer since 1984. He is a founding member of UP Photographers, the first international street photography collective. In addition to being regularly published in traditional and digital magazines, he writes and lectures on street photography. Three books of his work have been published, "Richard Bram: Street Photography" (2006), “Richard Bram: NEW YORK” (2016),“Short Stories” (2020) exhibition catalog, as well as the zine "The Red Cube," the subject of his 2025 exhibition at the Centro Fotográfico Manuel Álvarez Bravo in Oaxaca, México. His fourth book, "Restless Eye," is currently in production with the Italian publisher EYESHOT.

In 2020, Bram received the honor of a major solo retrospective exhibition at the Mannheimer Kunstverein in Mannheim, Germany. His work has been seen in over forty solo and group exhibitions around the world, and is part of major museum collections in America and Europe. He now makes his home on the banks of the River Thames in Limehouse where he observes the water, light and air of that great river.
