Brad Rimmer is an Australian photographer who works on long-term projects of portraiture, landscape and social documentation. Based in Fremantle, he seeks to uncover the human within often alienating everyday environs. He is the author of three photo books with T&G Publishing: Silence (2010), Don't Look Down (May 2019), and Nature Boy (September 2019).
In 2009, Rimmer received a Mid-Career Fellowship from the Western Australian Department of Culture and the Arts to publish Silence. Subsequently, the Art Gallery of Western Australia acquired the entire Silence exhibition of 30 works; which curator Dr Robert Cook described as, 'One of the most important bodies of images about Western Australia made to date.'
In 2017, Rimmer received the Artsource / Atelier Mondial residency in Basel Switzerland. The images created during that time form the basis for Don't Look Down.
Nature Boy (2019), set in the Western Australian Wheatbelt where Rimmer grew up, is a personal visual narrative, derived from the cultural idiosyncrasies of place, identity, belonging, and memory.
Numerous national and corporate art collections have acquired Rimmer's work, including the National Gallery of Australia, the Wesfarmers Collection, Artbank, St John of God Health Care and Murdoch University.
