- Biography -

Brad Walls was born in Sydney in 1992. From 2019 to the present, Brad has been refining his style - garnering international acclaim and setting new precedents in photographic expression.

Defining a new era of aerial photography and the recipient of several prestigious awards, his work has been featured in Washington Post, Guardian, CNN, and the New York Times, with reputation that has earned him a front cover of Signature Luxury Travel and a featured spread in Aesthetica Magazine and Vanity Fair.

Brad's niche style removes itself from traditional aerial photography and focuses on experimentation with negative space, symmetry, and leading lines. Taking a keen interest in top-down portraiture, Brad has documented synchronised swimming, gymnastics, and ballet - using the human body to portray visually pleasing shapes from above.

Carefully composing ordinary objects takes Brad's focus, releasing his "Pools From Above" book in 2020 - reaching global success drawing comparisons to David Hockney and Slim Aarons.
