Having been fascinated by photography for years, Brey decided to use the medium as a challenge in his work in a 2013 collaboration with Alina Sardiña. The result is a series of works with photographs that explore the relationship between nature and humankind. These include Latigazo (Whip-Lash) (2013), Árbol cortado (Felled tree) (2013), Árbol quemado (Burnt tree) (2013), Árbol cortado y escombros (Felled tree and rubble) (2013), Bastón del Diablo (The Devil’s Walking Stick) (2013).
