BRADY WILKS finds photography to be the creative outlet that he is most connected to. His photographic work is created with an exacting intention through the language of visual art. Film, digital captures, and alternative processes are used to create various bodies of work, which maintain a visual style and continuity throughout the various series. The majority of the image is created at time of capture through use of glass plates, filters, and extrusive time. The final prints are either silver gel darkroom prints, digital prints on textured fine art papers, or hand applied emulsions.

Brady intends to share his work with others, continue to strengthen photography’s presence in the art community, and to educate people in the field of photography and the language of art
