In 2010, he embarked on the “Affinity” series, capturing the essence of exotic animals through his lens, a project that not only showcases his technical capability in lighting and framing but also his ability to draw out the unique expressions of his subjects. Working with iconic and visually striking animals, Wilson navigates the challenges of photographing creatures ranging from small birds, which are relatively cooperative, to the more willful big cats, seeking those fleeting moments of connection amidst the chaos of the studio. Today, Wilson resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where, between home remodeling projects and outdoor activities, he continues to innovate in his field, with plans to release “Hybrid Life,” a series blending traditional and digital photography techniques. More info: Instagram | bradwilson.com Wilson shares, “From an early age I always had an interest in creative pursuits like drawing and painting, but it wasn’t until the later years of my time at university that I began to seriously consider these pursuits as a career. I graduated with a degree in art history and studio art, but even that gave me no real direction - until I picked up a camera. Suddenly all my training in the arts made sense and I knew what I wanted to do.” Outside the studio, Brad finds solace and inspiration in the natural beauty of Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he resides. He shares, “I live in beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico surrounded by mountains and desert. I spend my free time in the gym, hiking or working on a variety of landscaping and home remodeling projects.” Looking forward, Wilson is excited about his upcoming project, “Hybrid Life,” which promises to merge traditional and innovative techniques, showcasing his ongoing commitment to exploring the boundaries of photography and animal portraiture.
