Photographer in Residence 2024: Bri Hammond

The Mill is thrilled to announce Bri Hammond as the recipient of the Photographer in Residence program for 2024. Presented in partnership with the Ana and Christopher Koch Foundation Fund, Bri will receive a 12-month studio space in 2024 and an exhibition outcome as part of The Mill’s Visual Arts Program in 2025.

  • Bri Hammond is a photographer living on Kaurna country in Adelaide, previously residing on Wurundjeri and in Melbourne, until recently.

    Her work displays a mix of authentic emotions and odd moments, usually expressed with poppy colours and graphic compositions. She loves championing the peculiarities of life and highlighting the idiosyncrasies of people and places.

    Originally a graphic designer, she began her career with a year-long residency at Fabrica, Benetton’s Creative Research Centre in Treviso, Italy in 2011. Bri now creates images for a wide range of clients, publications and organisations across Australia with a unique visual approach.

    Bri’s debut solo exhibition ‘Nuoto da sola (I swim alone)’ was shown at Brunswick Street Gallery in Melbourne, 2019. In 2022, her first photobook ‘Endline - Deathcare during Melbourne’s Covid Crisis’, won the photobook prize at Melbourne’s Centre of Contemporary Photography. Bri has completed a Bachelor of Visual Communication (Design) at UniSA, and a Bachelor of Arts (Photography) at RMIT.
