Asian Photography — November 2017

Brett has previously worked as a

photojournalist for newspapers, and his

style of wedding photography is largely

photojournalistic as well. When asked to

describe his style, he says that he does

not really have a set style, because he

loves trying new things. His influences are

non-wedding related, and he is driven by

real moments. His roots in documentary

photography are an advantage and help

him in this area. Brett is also known for his

use of colour. “Colour can be elusive and

I enjoy hunting for it and playing certain

colours against others. For example,

warm and cold and purple and green.”

Brett has won a lot of accolades

and awards for this work. Last year,

he was awarded the prestigious

Photographer of the Year 2016 by the

Wedding Photojournalist Association.

this trophy next to my friends and all

of these talented people. WPJA is

special to me because it was an early

inspiration for becoming a full time

wedding photographer and a bulk of

I’m most free and

creative using small, light

mirrorless cameras and

lenses. I love Fujifilm X

series equipment and

large video lights with and

without colour gels.
