More about Brett B....

What do you love about your job?

I love being outdoors, which is one of the big reasons most of my work is on location. On the flip side of that I also love to try new things, and experiment with lighting in studio.
I also get a bit of a kick out of the "Oh my gosh!" moment when clients see their finished photos.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I have done plenty swimwear shoots. Location is always a big consideration, so I look for something that has an interesting feature that can be used. I always try to get the most flattering lighting for the situation, either with natural light or with strobe, and giving direction as to some poses that show off the models body at its best.

For corporate portraits, I asses what the clients needs are, where the images are going to be used, and provide a few options, with both friendly approachable photos that show their personality , and photos that show that they take business seriously.

Awards, honors, and recognitions received

Just a few publication in online magazines, a cover for a local magazine in Durban, and an editorial for a lifestyle magazine in Durban.

A fun fact about this photographer

If you told me 10 years ago that I'd be a swimwear photographer, I would have laughed at you.
