Brian’s interest in photography began at age 14 when he joined the Launceston Camera Club with his elder brother, and between them they won many awards.

Initial work was on glass plates before moving to cut film and a Graflex and Speed Graphic cameras purchased as excess stock from the Launceston Examiner Newspaper. Brian was registered as a freelance photographer with the paper and was the Tasmanian representative for Modern Motor and Wheels magazines, all at the age of 16 years. Class photos and the School magazine were part of the teenager’s portfolio.

Later years saw many cameras bought and sold before moving to 35mm. All processing was done in the family darkroom, shared with older Brother Graeme.

Family photos, growing children, cars, old buildings were all photographed. Later years saw Brian discover digital photography with travel within Australia and overseas producing some interesting images.

It was then someone mentioned the Dayboro Gallery where Sandra was showing her watercolours and then Brian was invited to display some of his work.

Following a 4 month trip around Australia, a new printer, and supply of canvas paper Brian is now producing some varied images from our beautiful North, such as Kakadu NP the rugged West Coast to the South Western corner of our great country.
