About

Bret Culp is a distinguished fine art photographer born in 1970 in Dunnville, Ontario, Canada, and currently based in Toronto and Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada. He is best known for his exquisitely crafted black and white photographs that evoke a profound sense of nostalgia, contemplation, and appreciation for the delicate and fleeting nature of existence. Additionally, Culp has gained recognition for his colourful solargraphs, a unique technique capturing the sun's dynamic movement across the sky over extended periods, transforming the passage of time into mesmerizing, abstract visual records.

Bret's haunting photographs convey the beauty of impermanence, the central theme of his work. Throughout his diverse travels, Bret seeks out scenes of a transitory nature. His poetic vision evokes scenes from a film, so it should not be a surprise that Bret is also an award-winning VFX Supervisor and 2nd Unit director with over three decades of experience in the film industry.
