BRETT DE VOS photographer & filmmaker gauteng, south africa www.onesmallseed.net/profile/BrettdeVos
Brett de Vos has always had an urge to express and create, which has pushed him to explore multiple artistic mediums including film, photography, music, performance and poetry. These mediums have become a part of the 22-year-old’s everyday life, informing and nurturing his creative voice. When he first arrived in Johannesburg, he found his creative heart (his tattoo of the Jozi skyline is testament to this), and he feels lucky enough to make a living doing what he loves. Brett’s passion lies primarily in the form of directing music videos and TV shows, but he is also a freelance cinematographer, photographer and film/TV lecturer. Brett’s work has always been very visual and his use of metaphorical images and layers of meaning has allowed him to create a platform of personal expression. However, he hopes that his art transcends the pretentious adoration of beautiful images and rather becomes a gateway to communication. Brett’s work is always connected to his personal life, and, as a result, love and perceptions of society remain thematically central throughout. Steering clear of creating art for ‘others’, Brett creates it for himself – in the hopes that one day he will be able to share his personal journey and insights with the world.
