Conversations with Brison T

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brison T

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started exploring photography in my early twenties with family members. After leaving home and moving into my first apartment, I purchased my first camera, a Canon T3i, and began taking things seriously. I reached out to models on a site called Model Mayhem, doing TFP (Time for Print) shoots with different models who were interested in working with me. This led me to explore a variety of different areas of photography.

As time went on, I started working with different club promoters, who allowed me access to spaces where others could see my skills. This exposure helped me start getting paid for my photography. It has been like a whirlwind for many years. There have been ups and downs, but for the most part, photography has been one of my greatest achievements in life. It brings me joy to create memories for people and to see them smile.

There are many people who continue to support and encourage me, even when things get a little crazy. I want to thank Kay Matthew Williams (of The Shades of Blue Project), Ian Haddock (of The Normal Anomaly Inc.), and a few of my models and clients who have consistently brought more clients my way: Joseph Mason, Braxton Moore, D’Angelo Howard, Chad Sebastien, and Sean Royal. Last but not least, I am forever grateful to my best friends, Correl James and Cedric Williams, who have supported me through it all.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
From time to time, I encounter clients or models who initially agree on a specific concept but then attempt to change it at the last minute. I’m a straightforward person, and I value clear communication, ensuring everyone fully understands what they’re committing to when working with me. I also believe in keeping everyone well-informed throughout the process. It’s interesting how some clients will opt for the smallest package but expect the most, while those who pay top dollar tend to give me no trouble at all when it comes to executing the project.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I have tapped into many areas of photography, including birthdays, graduations, weddings, engagements, and headshots. I have also shifted into artistic nude photoshoots for content creators and exotic male entertainers, among other niches. While it’s not an easy area to break into, it has helped bring more attention to my brand. After more than 15 years in photography, I am so grateful to have this craft in my life. It helps keep me balanced, and the financial rewards are good as well.

We’d love to hear about how you think about risk taking?
One of the biggest risks I face in photography is occasionally taking on the wrong clients. Often, the red flags are visible, but the promise of payment or the appeal of quick money can make it tempting to proceed. Over time, I’ve learned to stand firm, to say no, and to explain that I might not be the right fit for their needs.

Another risk I take is photographing male clients in the artistic nude concepts . This can sometimes lead to people boxing me into a specific niche, assuming that’s all I do. In reality, I’ve spent years perfecting my craft across various areas, such as engagements, graduations, headshots, and more.
