Brian interned at Greenwood Photography for a year and a half while attending the University of Texas at Austin. For the past twenty years I have trained over one hundred interns and Brian's photographic work ranks among the very best. After Brian graduated, I asked him to manage my business and stay on as a photographer. Brian's great technical skills and photographic vision added a new creative outlook to my studio.
Since his time at Greenwood Photography, Brian has moved to Santa Monica, California where he works almost exclusively in music, portraits, fashion photography, and architectural and interior photography. He has worked with top companies in his field such as Sony, MTV Networks, New Line Cinema, New Line Records, and SXSW Music Festival.
Brian's architectural images of multi-million dollar estates in Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades and Malibu have appeared in numerous real estate magazines, and he is a contributing photographer for "Distinctive Homes" and "Homes and Land".
Brian's latest endeavors have been shooting production stills. He has shot projects for HBO/Cinemax, Paramount, Spike TV, and his latest project, "Cellular", is an Electric Entertainment/New Line Cinema film starring Kim Basinger, Chris Evans, Jason Statham and William H. Macy.
"In difficult environments, Brian has a way of disappearing into the crowd, making himself as unobtrusive as possible, but always gets the shot. He also has a calm and accepting, non-judgmental attitude that is reassuring to talent and gives them a high comfort level around him."
