October 2006 - Photographer of the Month

Brigham Field

We want to relaunch the new site with a familiar face, and an artist who we have a great deal of respect for.

Brigham Field is a complex photographer because his work is deep and magical and full of mystery. He is a skilled photographer on every level but there is much more to his work than meets the eye and it is why we hold him in such high regard.

We believe Brigham Field is a genuinely good person and that his relationship with his models is displayed in their comfortable expressions and the ease and joy in which they pose. Brigham brings a fantasy element to situations and settings that feel natural. His environments are ethereal and light, while retaining a solid real world tone. In short, he makes real life seem heavenly and captures beauty with a wise and empathetic eye. 

Brigham Field primarily shoots women and some would say they are extraordinarily beautiful women (but to us all women are beautiful so it is hard to say) and that he has the ability to make gorgeous women even more beautiful.

Brigham Field is not just talented but also one of the most important modern photographers working. He is important because he is an artist who respects his subjects and portrays them in a way that not only compliments their beauty but treats them like goddesses.

Ironically, Brigham has a web site called Goddess – Beauty is Divine which showcases his work but more importantly gives his members an insight into the beauty of women and the process of his art. Photography enthusiasts and admirers of the female form (and soul) should not hesitate to join his site and be a part of photographic elegance. One of the hints at his decency is Brigham’s openness and willingness to share in the secrets and techniques of his craft in regards to how he applies them.

It was deeply sad that we lost Helmut Newton and Bob Carlos Clarke in such a short time span, but Brigham Field fills the gap left by these two gods of photography and softens the devastating void.

Brigham Field’s work oozes with style, class and elegance. The first time we ever laid our eyes on his work we were left speechless and awed, and that reaction occurs every time we see new work by him.

Though many photographers focus on the female nude with mixed results (it is hard to take a bad picture of a beautiful woman but some just don’t do the model justice) but Brigham Field’s nude images are artistic, interesting and deeply engaging and the women he photographs are gorgeously immortalized in ways few photographers have ever achieved (or will ever achieve.)

We consider Brigham Field a great friend of this site but an even greater friend to the art world and photography. If we had to choose one photographer to call the greatest living photographer of our times, we wouldn’t have any trouble naming Brigham Field. His fine art and fashion photography is simply some of the most breathtaking we have seen and is delivered with gentle sincerity and sensitivity.
