Based between Toronto and Mexico City, Brett Gundlock is a freelance photographer dividing his time between personal projects and assignments. His work has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Le Monde, TIME Magazine. Commercially, he has been commissioned by Canada Goose, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Kids in Need of Defense (KIND).
Long-term work often sees Gundlock embedded with marginalized subcultures, striving to see, understand, and represent them with accuracy and dignity. As he embarks on year eight of his project, “Carry the Blood, Emiliano,” he aims to witness the strength and resilience of remote communities in the Sierra Madre mountains who are caught in within Mexico’s ongoing drug crisis.
His work has also shifted to focus more on the migration crisis in Latin America.
As a founding member of the Boreal Collective, he has been involved at every stage of the group’s mandate: to explore humanity’s intricate and complex realities in a rapidly evolving world with dedication to visual storytelling practiced with patience, commitment, and integrity.
Gundlock has been instrumental in spearheading Boreal’s grassroots exhibitions, educational events, and publishing initiatives with a global reach.
Gundlock's work has been recognized by Pictures of the Year International, Ontario Arts Council, Latin American Fotografia, National Magazine Award (Canada), Toronto Arts Council, Lucie Foundation, Photolucida, Ian Parry Award, amoung others.
