Bruno Godbout

Bruno Godbout (Canadian, born 1969). Very young, Bruno follows his father on weekends, camera in hand, with or without film, for walks or to test new equipment designed in the house workshop. In high school and college he signs up for all the photo activities offered and makes the most of the darkroom time available.


During his graphic arts training at college, Bruno discovered the possibili­ties of computer-aided art, and computers will henceforth be an integral to his creative universe. After a university training in design and art history, he worked for a few years in desktop publishing. Attracted by digital photogra­phy, he adopted this medium in the summer of 2000.

After a brief passage into motorsport photography, Bruno returns to his first loves - urban exploration, MCM architecture and the American desert. Calling himself a documentalist first, Bruno then set about capturing the rhythms and atmospheres of the North American urban environment. After several trips to Europe, he landed in San Francisco in 1999 to focus on California and the American Southwest.
