Richard Brittain

Richard Brittain. Born 1975 Stirling, Scotland, grew up in England. Went to university to study fine art painting. Dropped out and went to work in the north of England. Decided to go back to university and study history of art & design. Moved to Falmouth, England, to do a pgdip in creative advertising.
Tried my hand at art direction in London, but after 3 years of placements and freelance work, i'd had enough. Had a complete career change and moved into TEFL. It was a way to escape the uk with my limited language skills.
After living and working in Lisbon, Portugal, for six years I decided to go and explore somewhere different, so I went to Almaty, Kazakhstan. However, after nine long months I am now in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
I have only been taking photos, seriously, for the last 5 years and I got into street photography through the street photography now project organised by The Photographer's Gallery, London. Since then i have placed joint 4th place 2014, and 5th runner up 2013 in the Fotoura International Street Photography Award. I am currently doing a few projects about everyday life in Cambodia and use a mix of film and digital photography.
