"Uncompromising talent with a mind blowing vision."

* Ahmad Kavousian * says:
"Brett.... a visual philosopher .....
He portrays the other side of human mind timelessly, the blind spot that is difficult to be seen.
If its your first time stopping by his powerful works, be aware, you may be shocked."

"Un vero Artista! Le sue immagini ti guidano e trasportano in un mondo singolare attrverso il filtro del suo incredibile occhio. Grazie Brett!"

manuel diumenjó photography says:
"The first time I saw a Brett Walker photography I had the feeling this place could be something more than a place to keep pics online, someting more than a mere storage. The more I see his stills the more I feel like a worm, and deeper my feeling we're all very privileged to be around here, orbiting, watching, emotioning, trying to learn, and also waiting for next Brett's dose.

I've tried hard not to be influenced by no other photographers, trying to get my own way on the basis of history of painting, and history of cinema, but of course you finally end watching some photographers work. After almost one year seeing this guy, I'm certain there's a few great photographers and there is BRETT WALKER.

Now I've read some other testimonials to Brett and I'm specially glad to coincide in ideas and thoughts with Chieska and Minas of the north, so much that i don't feel like changing a comma. Please excuse my poor english."

"a soul's blueprint captured.

and a special thanks to you."

in the secret garden says:
"the power of your work is so immense, is too deep, complex,

I love being able to see close by, in intimacy of my house ..
all the beauty and the sadness of the human being..

all these unique and infinite faces, all this universe complex, powerful and beautiful that captures with your magic...

too much depth, too much heart in your hands...."

chieska says:
"brett walker's photography is like a drug, you get one dose and just want more. but despite his formidable, mind-altering images, he is also one of the most approachable people i have ever come across.
a true, humble genius."

minαs says:
"If lucky, there will be a time in ones life when you hear a song and music sounds different ever since, you see a movie and throw away your top list, you step into Brett Walker's world of images and be forever changed."

deeharman says:
"I've been away from Flickr for a few months, and am now back to explore with fresh eyes... I normally don't write testimonials (I think I've written 2 in 2 years) but I feel compelled to say that Brett is my favourite. On flickr. Thus far. 100%. In the 2 years I've been here, no one has captivated me to the extent that he has... And having taken a break and come back - I feel even more confident than ever that that is the case... I could always appreciate different artists for different reasons, as I do here on flickr - but overall - hands-down - Brett has consistently knocked my socks off... So ther ya go. Fave!! :))"

Federico Erra says:
"all that I look in a photograph is over here!
love your work!"

Hana_photographer says:
"brett walker....he sews the sea..."

kevindonsimon says:
"Yeah, he da one. Praise be! A natural.
Hope you take my portrait one day."

genevievew says:
"Brett is one of if not the greatest photographer on flickr. He consistently creates stunningly beautiful images from the everyday that most of us pass by without even noticing. His portraits seem to cut right through to the very soul of his subjects.
Not only is he a wonderful artist but also the most generous of teachers. He is always delighted to give endless amounts of his time and advice to any aspiring photographers who ask for his opinion.
His passion for photography is truely infectious. My day is not complete if Brett has not uploaded another incredible photograph.
I only wish that he would refrain from posting his terrifying self portraits, they give me nightmares for days."

WatermelonSugar says:
"consistently amazing and beautiful work.
all hail the genius that is [brett walker]."

Dom Ciancibelli says:
"The quality and maybe the Karma of Mr. Walker's images takes my mind back to another era of photography that I haven't seen in recent years. Reminiscent of Walker Evans, David Heath and maybe Cartier Bresson (in his book "America in Passing"} he captures an essence in the people he photographs that is at once universal and again of another time.
I've always been envious of artists that can develop a rapport with individuals as he does. I've always feared invading the private space of humans yet Mr. Walker seems to be welcomed by his subjects. While he chooses to image the inhabitants of the planet I'll have to stick to imaging their environment. I think he's doing a marvelous job at keeping up his end!"

Conor W says:
"Meh, he's okay."

cogiac says:
"Each single frame a vivid portrait... a human being, each human being a story, each story an emotion. Brett: unmistakable style, heart and technique."

lapinfille says:
"Breezy genius with everyday magic. The seen unseen in all it's glory."

Samantha West says:
"you dont even know brett...

i just looked through all your images.
page after page (and by the way, there are not enough pages...)

bang bang
you knock me down, brett.

i am in awe. im jealous. im full of deference.
you create such raw beauty.
oily slick coal miner tired true human sex blood and pumping heart filled beauty.

it hurts.
it is a fantastic pain.
a wonderful pain."

a bout de souffle says:
"Brett explores the existence. His photographs are striking, ambiguous images of people that occupy the grey area between fact and fiction, blurring the boundaries between documentary photography and art forms such as painting, theatre and sculpture."

photopoppywalker says:
"All I have to say about Brett Walker, is that he's the best photographer in the whole wide world!!!!!"

(Fight this Generation) says:
"this is art this is something really great,something scratching into you,one of my favorite photographers in flickr a great photographer"

the Fingerprint File says:
"In the very short time that I've been posting to Flickr I've had the distinct pleasure of discovering some of the best photography I've come across - anywhere. Right at the top of my shortlist is Mr. Walker. He is a stellar shooter with so many sterling images to his credit that I have to admit - I wish they were mine. What an interesting world he must live in to not only see things the way he does but to actually be able to execute his skill at such a consistent level as to leave little doubt that he is becoming a true master in this game of photography.

And, as if that weren't enough, he's one hell of a great guy too. Without any solicitation on my part he took it upon himself to contact me personally offering not only words of praise but sound advice as well as encouragement. As we all know its nice to receive the occasional pat on the back or a few words of kindness but, when someone as qualified as Brett makes it a point to share such wisdom, well I have to tell you, it can take you away to a very incredible place.

Whether it be a daily shooter or a household name in a world where real talent isn't always packaged with a kind heart [a true rarity indeed] Brett Walker stands head & shoulders above the crowd. I'm humbled to be in his company and am truly grateful to have made his acquaintance. May all the blessings of success be your's, Brett, for many years to come!!!"

mikemarr says:
"brett, what can i say!!! he is my favorite guy of all time, he has taught me so many things in life, he has opened my eyes to many things in the past, he is with out doubt the best teacher not just in photography but also about life in general, he has been an inspiration to me ever since i met him some years ago, he has a certain aura about him that leaves a everlasting good effect on you, he bought me my first camera some months ago and im now totally hooked god bless you brett, he will always have a special place in my heart! top guy!!!!!"

kelco says:
"The main thing I like about Brett's images is the way he manages to capture a sense of timelessness. Many of these pictures would not be out of place is a Taschen book of photo icons. He's not afraid to post challenging and unusual shots, and I always look forward to his next offering."

antonym1 says:
"Photobrettwalker is not only a graet photographer, he is a great teacher as well. He introduced me to photography and even gave me my first camera. Brett has spent a lot of time teaching beginning photographers and helping them develope their tallent and style. Many people including myself, are very greatful for his help."

Nocturnales says:
"Even in anonymity, this work would be famous."

ilovedrops says:
"i have had the pleasure of watching brett walker grow for 23 years. You are still my absolute favorite vision enhancer, photographer, and i expect this to never change. Your photographs have influenced and motivated me since i was a youngone,when you made me sit under a tree in a park in tokyo for hours to teach me about how the sun creates the light, and shadows in different hours of the day.. ...please continue with your gift of vision."

OnoLulu says:
"In just a few words i can resume what i think of your work : YOU HAVE SUCH A TALENT.
Looking at your picture is just like a travel bewteen beauty and humanity. You surely know how to capture both."
