About
Headshots, candids, professional and personal events.
With work in film, TV, and commercial photography, my print work has been featured in publications including The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, US Weekly, and The Hollywood Reporter.
I pride myself on getting a natural, candid smile out of any subject, including ones who hate being in front of the camera.

Brian has been great for each occasion we’ve booked him for. He always arrives on time, is prepared, doesn’t get in the way, and takes lovely photos. He's able to capture both candid and posed moments, send beautifully edited photos back quickly - which I always appreciate. We really treasure all of the memories Brian has captured in the many special moments of our lives as a couple and now family. I also asked Brian to take some professional headshots for me, and it was a great experience. It could have certainly been awkward (considering I’m a therapist and not used to being front and center), and Brian made the experience easy, fun and great. I’d recommend him to anyone!

Brian was an amazing person to work with for our engagement pictures taken at the Maroon Bells in Aspen. He is very responsive in communication and helped guide me as someone who doesn't know much about photography. The initial photos are turning out excellent!! Thank you so much Brian for helping us out!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All packages include a basic number of photos that varies depending on the job. Additional photos can be purchased as an add on.
I shoot with top of the line Sony mirrorless gear, which allows me to photograph and film silently for events, in addition to on sets of film, TV, and commercials.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will start by speaking with the customer about what he or she is looking for, including inspirational photos or examples of my work that are of interest. I'll then create a shot list with a client before the event. I'll arrive early and work with the client to make sure we have everything before I get to editing.
After the shoot, I will create an export of low resolution photos for the client to favorite. At that point, I get to editing. I will send the finished photos in smaller and larger resolution - for sharing digitally and for printing.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Produced a hybrid of set photography, electronic press kit, and behind the scene footage for film, TV, and digital media marketing departments including ABC, Super Deluxe, Lunacy Productions, and other independent productions.
Print work featured in publications including The New York Times and Hollywood Reporter
