Hello I’m Florian Braakman

I’m a photographic artist and
I make work to connect people.
I’m interested in communities, like my neighbourhood
Delfshaven, in Rotterdam.
I make (audio visual) installations,
and I create publications.
Besides that, I make portraits and visual stories for clients

Artist in Residency, Watersnoodmuseum, Zeeland, March - May 2026

Temporary Facades in the exhibition Rotterdam in Focus, Nederlands Fotomuseum, 7 February - 24 May 2026

Tramhuis - Kiosk for city walks. With Tramhuis, you’ll hear stories you’d otherwise miss, at places you might normally overlook. Set out and experience the city through new perspectives.

First route, Building the city - Winy Maas. In this walk, world-renowned Rotterdam architect Winy Maas takes you along iconic buildings—some of his own, and others by colleagues. But Winy also invites you to look at the city itself. Because how did Rotterdam become the city it is today? And how can it keep evolving?

For the campaign Gewoon in Rotterdam, Florian Braakman made a visual tribute to ‘the Kapsalon’. A dish with origins in Delfshaven, but now a snack with world fame. Many thanks to El Aviva and their great kapsalons
