25 years behind the camera and inside the workflow
Brett Wilhelm is a photographer, videographer, integrated producer and technology consultant with more than 25 years of experience in digital photography and video production. Known for dynamic content and innovative technology solutions, he works with national brands including the NCAA, Red Bull, U.S. Ski & Snowboard and the X Games, with extensive previous experience across the NFL, MLB and other professional sports organizations.
Specializing in action and adventure sports as well as the education and commercial markets, Brett brings a distinctive visual style to every project. As an FAA Part 107 licensed drone pilot, he integrates aerial cinematography into his visual storytelling.
Beyond the camera, Brett is a digital workflow consultant. He helps organizations design, implement and manage large-scale network-attached storage (NAS), Apple client environments, digital asset management (DAM) platforms, backup and data recovery, and LTO archiving. His clients include major corporate and sports organizations, where he optimizes photo and video workflows, improves team collaboration and protects digital assets. In digital products he manages large web development projects, cross-platform apps, social media analytics and email marketing technology.
Committed to education within the photography and media industry, Brett regularly consults on the latest technologies, helping creative teams work more efficiently, streamline operations and safeguard their content.
When not managing Wilhelm Visual Works, he is on a seemingly life-long, semi-successful, quest to have photography fund his global nomadic lifestyle. He is accepting donations. When not skipping through Svenska or traipsing around Tanzania, he lives, works and plays just outside Jackson Hole, WY, where he is highly regarded as a mediocre athlete and prolific digital flâneur. Wilhelm was voted the 2006 “Person of the Year” by Time Magazine. Downloadable Resume/CV
