Technique of shooting a number of pictures of the same subject and viewpoint at different levels of exposure.

Definition from Van Dale Groot Engels Woordenboek:
bracketing:
koppelen, in dezelfde categorie plaatsen, op een lijn stellen, gelijkstellen

Example sentence(s):
  • "In fotografie, het koppelen is de algemene techniek om verscheidene schoten van het zelfde onderwerp te nemen dat verschillend of de zelfde cameramontages gebruikt." - WordLingo  

Explanation:
It seems that bracketing is often left untranslated, but "koppelen" is a very suitable Dutch alternative.
