Kerry Brown has had a camera in his hand for 20 years. During this time he has concentrated on exploring the emotional power of the photograph by always building a unique intimacy with his subject. He doesn’t just take images of people, he captures an essence of who they are and the spaces they are in.

Kerry’s experience as a director and cinematographer
has influenced his work—his photographs project a strong sense of human drama enhanced by an expressive use of cinematic lighting.

Since basing himself in the UK, he has worked extensively in the Film, Fashion and Music industries. Recent work includes a Betty Jackson campaign for British Vogue, a DVD cover for Jamie Cullum for Universal Music and a poster for BBC Film’s upcoming feature “Bullet Boy”.
