Brett is a professional freelance photographer living in San Diego. As a lifetime resident of this city, he is very well-acquainted with all that his hometown has to offer. Having studied photography, telecommunications and film production in college, he got his start in this field doing commercial photography for local hotels and restaurants. In the ensuing years, he developed a particular interest for location stock photography after getting his first scenic photo published in a very prominent San Diego visitors publication. This trend continued as his work gained increasing exposure and praise from various sources (particularly in the tourist trade), and so it was that in 1990 he formed his company, Artistic Visuals after recognizing a growing market for quality photos of San Diego. With a strong determination to build up a comprehensive collection of stock images, he began photographing all corners of the city - capturing its many popular highlights in addition to a wealth of less familiar but equally attractive areas. He exhibits great skill in taking candid photos of people, recreation and landscapes that are rich in natural beauty. His compositions are very pleasing to the eye with an almost painting-like quality, exhibiting a sense of comfort and balance.

Having been an avid traveler over the many years, he has also captured the scenic natural splendor of much of the western United States, as well as big city views in New Orleans, Dallas, Chicago, Northern California Coastal and Inland that include San Francisco, San Jose and many others such as Vancouver; overseas locales covered include Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands, and European countries such as Switzerland, Germany and Austria. Sample photos from many of these areas are represented on this site, and all are available to Artistic Visuals' customers.

Brett's photos appear regularly in numerous tourism guide publications, magazines, coffee table books, maps, brochures, postcards, calendars, audio/visual presentations, transit tickets, art display prints, trade show displays and websites.

Artistic Visuals provides additional photographic services including commercial, documentary, instructional/tutorial and special events.
