Brian Brake at the NFU
Brian Brake is regarded as New Zealand's most successful international photographer. But before heading overseas to work for photo agency Magnum and snapping iconic shots of Picasso and the Monsoon series for Life magazine, he was also an accomplished composer of moving images. He shot or directed many classic films for the NFU, including New Zealand's first Oscar-nominated film. Lissa Mitchell, from museum Te Papa Tongarewa, explores Brake's moving picture work here.
