Brett Florens

Brett Florens is a Nikon Ambassador, photographer, author and educator with more than 30 years behind the camera — although photography was never actually the plan. He stumbled into photography in 1992 and spent six years as a police photographer, photographing crime scenes and forensic evidence. That experience taught him the importance of observation, light, and getting the shot right when there is no second chance. Since 2008, Brett has been teaching and inspiring photographers around the world. He has written five books on photography and spoken to thousands of photographers at major events, conferences and workshops across the globe. Today, Brett’s teaching goes beyond camera settings and technique. He focuses on helping photographers see differently, understand light, connect with people, make confident creative decisions and build photography businesses that actually work. Energetic, honest and highly practical, Brett shares what he has learned from three decades in the industry — including plenty of mistakes, so you hopefully don't have to make quite as many of your own.
