Hi, I'm Brigitte Buitendag.


The photographer and creative heart behind Being by Brigitte. I believe that photography is not just about taking a photo - it’s about seeing with the soul and capturing your being.


For me, photography is a practice of presence. It’s about connecting with the energy of a place, a person, or a moment, and honouring it through my lens. I don’t just photograph what’s visible; I seek to capture the essence of what’s felt, the magic of what’s unseen - creating images that reflect the deepest truth of who you are.

“I’m absolutely thrilled with the photos Brigitte took for my matric farewell! They captured every special moment—from the candid laughs to the elegant posed shots—with such creativity and attention to detail. The lighting, editing, and overall vibe of the pictures are stunning, and she made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The turnaround time was quick, and they were professional from start to finish. I’ll cherish these photos forever and would 100% recommend her for any event!”
