SEALEY BRANDT PHOTOGRAPHY
This image was taken at my studio. I was commissioned by a client to
produce an acting portfolio for her daughter and this is just one out of the
series that I love.
My speciality is shooting with black-and-white film, as the grain in negative
film is beautiful – very different to digital. All my prints are printed in Australia
at my father’s old lab. I have samples of both printing methods to show clients
prior to the shoot so that they can decide which they prefer.
With 30 years of experience, I never need to re-touch and rarely need to
crop any of my images as I get the shots I want in the camera every time. In
saying that, I do offer re-touching services when digital format is chosen, if
that’s what a client wants or needs. If you make a person feel great in front
of the camera, though, the image will always be good, as their beauty comes
out and their personality shines.
This image is one of my favourites. I love the in-between moment and how
her strength is portrayed. It makes me stop and look at it every time. This is
typical of my photographic work. I have been photographing people for over
30 years, and, most importantly, families and children for 15 years. I also love
to travel to unusual places, photographing the landscapes and the people,
and the way they live. Images from Mongolia that I shot last year document
the vast lands of that country and were recently shown at a photo fair in Milan,
Italy. I’m also exhibiting at the Milan Image and Design Art Fair at Singapore’s
Marina Bay Sands from 24 to 26 October.
