Brian Takes Pictures. A Lot of Them.

Sometimes it's film. Sometimes it's digital. Sometimes it's with a camera he probably didn't need to buy but couldn't resist adding to an ever-growing collection.

Photography has always been more than a job for Brian. It's an excuse to chase stories, freeze fleeting moments, explore new places, and occasionally look like a wizard carrying enough gear to stop time.

Brian studied photography formally, but much of his education came from being in the middle of things. Over the years, he has photographed movie premieres, red carpets, comic conventions filled with stormtroopers, fashion shows, concerts, sporting events, and countless moments that only happen once.

His work spans event photography, editorial photography, portraiture, and photojournalism. The subject may change, but the fundamentals remain the same: understanding light, connecting with people, anticipating moments, and telling a story in a single frame.

​

Still Learning

Brian has never been particularly interested in staying inside one photographic category.

Portraits and professional headshots, for example, share many of the same foundations as event photography. Reading light, understanding people, anticipating expressions, and knowing when to press the shutter matter whether the subject is standing in front of a studio backdrop or walking onto a red carpet.

Sports photography has provided another challenge. Fast-moving action requires a different kind of anticipation and timing, and youth sports have provided an opportunity to explore that side of photography while studying movement, competition, emotion, and everything that happens around the action.

Another favorite creative outlet is infrared photography. By transforming familiar places into something dreamlike and slightly unreal, infrared offers a reminder that photography doesn't always have to show the world exactly as we see it.

And sometimes the best thing to do is simply grab a camera and go looking for something interesting.

Chasing the Moment

Brian is drawn to energy and movement: concerts, baseball games, air shows, crowded conventions, city streets, and even fast-moving hummingbirds.

They all have something in common—the brief moments that exist for only a fraction of a second.

Photography gives those moments somewhere to live.

What's Next

After years of maintaining a more traditional photojournalism and event-photography presence, Brian is taking some time to rebuild and rebrand.

The old website, standard pricing packages, and conventional portfolio approach have given way to something more personal: a collection of photographs, experiments, stories, and projects that reflect where his photography is today—and where it might go next.

The site may feel a little more like a scrapbook than a traditional photography portfolio.

That's intentional.

It's a place to share favorite images, try new ideas, revisit old ones, and document the ongoing journey of someone who still gets excited every time he picks up a camera.

Brian remains available for select clients, collaborations, event coverage, editorial assignments, and creative projects.

For now, though, he's still figuring out what the next frame looks like.
