Speaker — Simon Bruty

Originally from the U.K., Simon Bruty now lives in
Washington D.C. In 2009 Canon invited Simon to
become a member of its exclusive Explorers of Light
program. He was also the first action photographer
to be asked to present his work at the Look3
Photography Festival.

During his career, Simon has traveled extensively to
work on feature stories as diverse as soccer in Zambia,
golfers in Greenland, and badminton in Indonesia.
He photographs football, tennis, skiing, soccer, and
golf for Sports Illustrated. Somewhere along the way
Simon learned how to make people sit still and developed
a diverse archive of portraiture including Michael Phelps
with his eight Olympic gold medals, Lance Armstrong, Ben
Bradlee, and David Beckham among other modern luminaries.

His award-winning photograph of Ronaldo was featured in an ad for Canon Europe before the
2006 World Cup Games and in 2003, The London Observer chose one of Simon’s photographs to be
included in their list of the World’s 50 Greatest Sports Photographs.
