About Me

I am a professional photographer verging on the obsessive. I live and breathe photography and the process of making an absolutely beautiful or powerful image consumes me daily.

Over the past year I have learnt skills and techniques that have expanded my abilities and given me the confidence to take on challenges that would have been beyond me before, even with over 10 years of experience.

My background is landscape and travel photography, so I tend to like location shoots rather than the studio and I like to use the geography as a focal point as much as the model. I think one should compliment the other.

Being a freelance photographer with a very portable kit means that I am available to shoot pretty much when-ever and where-ever. I love to travel and work in new surrounds so if you have a project that is interesting and out of the way please feel free to contact me, I might be there already!

I've done many types of shoots ranging from kids, family and weddings to fashion, portrait and sports.

Landscapes are still a passion for me and I am working on a book which I hope to publish this year. Keep an eye out on my site for updates.

 

I hope you enjoy the collections here and feel free to contact me if you have any questions or inquiries.

 

Cheers!

What people have said about Brett Stanley Photography

 

"WOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOW! Lou's whole family just previewed the picture sets and we all love them! Fantastic facets of all aspects of Hot Yoga of New Zealand that we cannot wait to put on the website and on our brochures from the discs!"

"We are extremely pleased with what you have captured - you definitely have a talented eye, and managed to show us a dimension of our wedding day we hadn't seen ourselves - absolutely priceless. You did a great job, thank you."
Carolyn Keall May 1, 2008

 

"Brett gets great results because he makes you feel at ease. You can relax, be yourself and have a laugh with him - and that comes through in the photos that he takes."

"Brett is a fantastic photographer. I've worked with him quite a few times now and have always been really impressed with his work. He's not afraid to get in close and try something a bit different so you don't end up with the usual 'stock photography' look that you often get with commercial photographers. An awesome guy to boot, I totally recommend him for whatever your photography project."
