Peter Brew-Bevan (b. 1969) is a leading Australian portrait and fashion photographer. Born in Adelaide, he studied painting and drawing at the South Australian School of Art and Design and started taking photographs while completing his degree. He then moved to Sydney and from the mid-1990s began increasingly to specialise in portraiture. With clients including film studios and record companies, his carefully composed and thought-provoking photographs have appeared in a range of Australian and international publications including Vogue, Marie Claire, Elle, Who, Rolling Stone, Inside Sport and GQ. In 2005, the National Portrait Gallery presented the exhibition Peter Brew-Bevan: Portraits and he was one of eight photographers included in the Portrait Gallery’s 2014 exhibition Promo: Portraits from Prime Time. His photographic book Shoot: Studio Sessions (2007), a selection of his images of actors and other celebrities, won six industry awards for concept and design. In 2019, Brew-Bevan founded the 2020 MEN-Tality Project in partnership with Beyond Blue, which focuses on destigmatising men's mental health through a series of portraits of prominent Australian men with experience of depression and anxiety. The Portrait Gallery's collection includes 21 of his photographs.
