He began his career assisting legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz during her iconic GAP portrait campaign, an experience that placed him at the center of a defining moment in modern portraiture. Over the following decades, van den Brulle developed a distinctive visual language while producing editorial work for major international publications including The New York Times, Forbes, Outside Magazine, and Travel + Leisure, alongside commissions from institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art and collaborations with artists including Frank Stella.

The work has been reviewed by Barbara Pollack in ArtNews and is held in prominent private collections including those of Takashi Murakami, James Taylor, filmmaker Robert Benton, and model-actress Frederique van der Wal. Expanding his practice into cinema, van den Brulle studied under Academy Award–winning cinematographer Gordon Willis and went on to shoot films screened at the Berlin International Film Festival, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, and Tokyo International Film Festival. He also served as cinematographer for acclaimed contemporary artist Mika Rottenberg on her celebrated moving-image work Bowls Balls Souls Holes.
