Member Spotlights Following Our BRICKS HQ Open Days

Welcome to our latest spotlight newsletter! We have such a talented community of creatives on our Learner Platform, and have been lucky enough to meet some of you during our BRICKS HQ Open Days. On that, we’re proud to introduce some of our members in hope you can collaborate, connect and of course, follow their journey.

On Thursday May 30th & Friday June 21st, we’d love to invite you down to the BRICKS Media head office for your chance to meet the BRICKS editorial team while picking up your copy of the latest issue. We want to offer our members the chance to chat to our team directly, to ask for career or industry advice and offer a chance to have your portfolio, CV or work reviewed.

Due to summer activations, these will be our last Open Days days for quite some time, so book your slot while you still can!

Born in a small city in Northern Italy, photography allowed Stefano (He/They) to explore and express his identity. Their work invites others to step away from social norms, question preconceived notions of beauty, and celebrate the diverse identities and relationships that challenge conventional perceptions of reality. Through geometry, his work reshapes and escapes reality, using the rigour of form as a model to rethink how we perceive the world. Stefano is looking to work with publications to publish and commission his photography work.
