Born in Brisbane to a family of engineers, Michael Brosnan discovered his passion for photography from his first encounters with American GQ and Vogue, with Herb Ritts and Bruce Webber as his major inspirations.
Brosnan studied for a BA in Modern Asian Studies at Griffith University and the University of Queensland, while modelling appearing in tv commercials and fashion shows. With a major in Japanese and economics, he lived and worked in Tokyo for three years where he became friends with stylist Masahiro Kurokawa and photographer Kazuhiro Kobayashi.
Having worked with portrait photographer Greg Gorman in the States, he then spent three years in Paris, test shooting for top model agencies, followed by a move to London where he began shooting editorial. Having graduated from Central Saint Martin’s with a degree in Graphic Design, he worked as art director for Moussaieff Jewellers and as a digital designer for various fashion labels.
In 2016, Brosnan picked up the camera once more, exploring that decisive moment found in modern portraiture photography —“it’s about the chemistry that happens between me and the model”.
“Combining beautiful lighting, on location and in the studio, fashion photography is about creating a story. Capturing the moment that can never be replicated is what photography is truly about”.
