Brian’s passion for photography came on like wildfire. The instant he began capturing life in his unique visual point of view, photography exploded from a hobby to an obsession. Brian has become known for always having a camera attached to him and constantly snapping shots of anything and everything. With the opportunity to travel over the past few years, the highlight became obvious to everyone around him. He became enveloped in photography. He has used photography not only to capture memories but as an outlet to a world beyond the confinements of daily life we all endure. Brian’s photos are a glimpse into a more beautiful world. Many of his shots are of things we see everday, but seem completely different when photographed through his eyes.
A large part of Brian’s photography is simply capturing the moment. He is not interested in shooting people in posed atmospheres or taking pictures in typical frames. Many of his favorite shots have been taken in the moment. It may be a spontanious beach hike at 5am and capturing a phenominal sky or by watching his daughter play near sunset and capturing the sun fade through her hair. His unplanned photography often produces the most unexpected displays of beauty and captures the essence of a quiet moment in time.
Photography is not a job for Brian and he is adamant about keeping it that way. For Brian, photography is restful, peaceful yet engaging and fulfilling. It truly has been the joy of sharing his photos and public demand that has pushed him into officially displaying his photography. Simply by word of mouth, without intent for publicity, his photography has become in demand. It snowballed from friends who were moved to tears after stumbling across a photo he’d taken, to strangers seeing images while passing by his laptop. Complete strangers would literally stop in their tracks to comment and get a closer glimpse of the images he would load on his computer after a day of simply shooting what looked interesting to him. Brian is humbled everytime someone chooses to bring his photography into their collections and he is stunned at the response his images have received.
The decision to display Brian’s photography was under one condition – to present unalterted, unmanipulated images which depict the accuracy of how he’d taken them. When developing an official name to represent his photography, the statement consistantly came up that he wanted others to see an image as he had seen it, in the moment it was taken. Digital photography makes it easy for those who wish to enhance a plain photo into a vibrantly colored one by using computer programs and printers to adjust images into visual fabrication. Brian’s whole love for photography is sustained by the challenge of capturing excellence, not digitally creating illusions. He wanted a name for his photography to be simple and stand for what his photography really is. Finally, it seemed only fitting to list his photography under “what my eyes have seen.”
