BIOGRAPHY
Bri Hammond is a photographer living on Kaurna country (Adelaide, South Australia). Her work displays authentic emotion and odd moments, usually expressed with poppy colours and graphic compositions. She loves championing the peculiarities of life and highlighting the idiosyncrasies of people and places. Originally a graphic designer, she began her career with a year-long residency at Fabrica, Benetton’s Creative Research Centre in Treviso, Italy. Bri now creates images for a wide range of commercial clients and publications across Australia with a unique visual approach. Bri has completed a Bachelor of Visual Communication (Design) at UniSA, and a Bachelor of Arts (Photography) at RMIT.
