Owner Operator
Thomastown, Melbourne, Australia
Owner and instructor Brett Dorron’s photographic career has spanned more than 30 years. He says his “interest in photography was first stirred by a school project at the age of ten. Back then, and because of the perceived expense of the B&W film and processing, his parents quickly quashed the initial interest. So it wasn’t till his mid twenties, while inadvertently studying for an Associate Diploma in Applied Photography, that he truly realised the attraction photography could hold for him. It was not an end of anything, but the start of everything.”He worked as a Press photographer, both contract in the 1980’s, and staff in the 1990’s. The tremendous diversity and pressures of a background in Press, gave him the confidence to tackle anything from portrait and wedding, to commercial and advertising, etc. He worked for other’s studios, operated his own, and even worked as a television cameraman for a time. He has owned and operated studios in his home state of Queensland, a long stint in Western Australia, worked professionally in Europe, and is now set up in Melbourne Victoria.Brett’s greatest passion and calling is working with the figure in fine art nude, but he really just loves working with people. He once said “These days, and more than ever, my interests are in others. I get bored when my subjects don’t move to their own will. I like people!“. He is very experienced in portraiture of all ages, wedding, corporate, commercial, industrial, product and advertising photography and loves teaching, sharing, passing on his experiences and watching others grow.https://www.brettdorron.com/
