Brett walker photography biography
Nixon Art Mosh: Brett Walker
There’s a strong punch of raw emotion that seperates Brett Walker’s body of work from his contemporaries. When its left hook hits you in full force, it leaves you disoriented; visual stories from the people and places he photographs flashes in your head. It's like you know these people, you know these streets, yet you don’t.They're all fromn Brett’s local neighborhood but they might just as well walk down your own street. Walker's densely contrasted and probing lens interferes with the mundane to give you images of people that are strangely familiar, strong, fiercely real, yet somehow detached, as if they were living double lives and keeping secrets.
The people in my photographs generally come from my neighbourhood in London, Ladbrooke Grove generally, I just ask them to pose and if that won't work I bribe them, beyond that threats of violence are the only way
