Brittany Colt grew up in the state of Washington where the rolling fields and deep pine forest were her playground. Being born blind in one eye motivated her to photograph the beautiful scenery that was set before her. Eyesight was something that she never took for granted. It helped Brittany value her ability to recognize and capture those fleeting moments of life.
Brittany first found her passion for photography at age ten while on a family vacation in the Olympic National Forest located in the state of Washington. Her passion for the art form grew exponentially, along with developing a strong desire of capturing more intimate subjects. The way Brittany “sees” is unique and has helped shape her photographic style.
Brittany’s creative journey began by photographing landscapes and continued further into the applications of portraiture and wedding photography. This led to her establishing a photography company in 2012, while also working in the Film Industry in Portland, Oregon. In 2016, Brittany started a formal degree program in Graphic Design. These combined experiences in Graphic Design and the Film Industry helped mold and influence her attention towards light, color and composition in her work.
In 2018 Brittany developed an additional interest in teaching photography and started working as a Staff Photographer for The Ansel Adams Gallery (TAAG) and is currently the Education Coordinator for TAAG. Brittany loves to challenge her students and expand their minds, not only technically, but creatively as well. Working in a national park and The Ansel Adams Gallery has combined her passion for being in the great outdoors, teaching photography, and photographing the wilderness of Yosemite.
