MARK BRIERLEY
Winner, Architecture
With his main interest in urban landscapes, Mark Brierley became an emerging member of the AIPP, to aid him in the pursuit of a career in architectural photography, where he combines geometric patterns with symmetry and bold uses of colour. Inspired by Australian painter Jeffrey Smart, Brierley’s images centre around turning the everyday scenes we see into playful allusions whereby they are apparently beautiful, but hold no real value. His focus emphases how the man-made environment has, and continues, to take over the natural world.
In 2017, Brierley was the runner-up in the Architecture category.
