Brett Hillyard, or as his friends call him Hilly; is a commercial photographer specializing in advertising, editorial, and portraiture. His documentary style of shooting aims to capture people as they truly are. With this in mind Hilly created "The Thirty 5 Series" is a collection of 35mm street photographs. Street photography is authentic; raw, it has the ability to capture true emotion. Hilly finds shooting discretely helps him to shoot candid moments where people don't react to being photographed. Hilly values the process of shooting film, for its quality and its limited exposures. Each roll has 35 opportunities! Film forces me to be thoughtful of each click. With so many moving elements to consider in telling a story, lighting, focus, exposure, framing, film type... These challenges are what drive him to constantly document and share his passion with the world.
