Brett Hilder is an Australian photographer and traveller whose work encompasses fashion, portraiture (these include the likes of singer Brian Ferry, actress Marisa Berenson, actor Mel Gibson, Nobel Prize Winning Australian Novelist Patrick White and Spanish actress Lola Marcelie) and landscape photography, film and theatre. His work, described as a deeply personal exploration of the sensual and romantic, for the “Vogue magazines” of the world, showed the intrinsic and unique value of his photography. In the 1970s Brett worked in London and Paris. His assignments took him to Mexico, the USA, South Africa, Kenya, Eritrea, Indonesia, Ireland and Spain. He continued his photography on return to Australia, including work for the Sydney Theatre Company ( the actress, Cate Blanchett was a recent joint Artistic Director there), and made a film of the life of Italian photographer Tina Modotti. He has exhibited at the Australian Centre for Photography, the Josef Lebovic Gallery and in Barcelona and Taos (New Mexico). In 2008 Murdoch Books published “Another Time, Past Created”, a poetic journal with photographs of his travels through the Americas, Europe and Africa, and “The Sea of Chance” a travel memoir of his struggle to bring his Eritrean wife to Australia.
