Bret Culp Black & White Fine Art Photography and Solargraphy
The Beauty of Impermanence
“I use photography to explore impermanence through black and white images shaped by fleeting moments, and colourful solargraphs shaped by time itself — contemplations of transformation, memory, and light.”

"Wow. The print is spectacular!"
“I very much appreciated your taking the time to show me your pictures and giving me some insight into your thinking and your process. You know I am an admirer of your work, and I would be truly honored to have a print of the Dunluce Castle photo in our home. It is an extraordinary picture, and I responded very strongly to it the minute I saw it in your book.

I took the picture to my framer today. Wow. The print is spectacular! Amazing detail both in the foreground and at a distance. Really thrilling to see on this large scale.”— Peter F.

"Mastered your craft"
“I have looked at many prints of castle ruins but yours nearly pulled me inside the damp ancient walls. You have mastered your craft and your work speaks for itself. I can only imagine the places you have seen in your line of work. I have a wife and three grown kids but am still a hopeless romantic . Have not written a poem in 50 years. The Transience of Power made me sit down with pencil and paper! When finished, I would be glad to send you a copy if you wish. Take care and God bless.”
