Bryant first became interested in photography during his childhood, when he received a passed-on camera from his father who was a keen amateur photographer. He spent his school and college days experimenting with different types of photography. [1]

He studied architecture at

Kingston Polytechnic[2] and graduated in 1975, when he joined a small firm of London architects. Soon after, he decided to pursue a career in photography.[3] He had experimented with different types of photography,[4] and was approached by New York-based magazines (House and Garden magazine) who sent him to interpret numerous architectural projects around the world.[5]

In 2000, Bryant was commissioned by the UK Royal Mail to produce an image for the first class ‘arts and crafts’ series of stamps for the millennium.[16]
