About

Brian-4 copy 2

Hello! I’m Brian – Welcome to my page!

I’m a self-taught photographer from Tulsa, Oklahoma. After attending the University of Colorado at Boulder, I set out for an adventure throughout South East and Central Asia before settling into Tokyo where I have lived since 2004 with my wife and two children.

My creative efforts are a personal attempt to visualize my adopted home in the context of existing as an outsider within it. As a result of coming to photography at its digital and analog crossroads, I employ both modern and traditional methods and value the process of creating perhaps even more than the final result. It is at these strange intersections of perspective and method that have lead me to compositions and emotions in my personal work.

I am also a founding member of Photohoku, an ongoing volunteer photo-gifting effort that was born is a response the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011, and has since evolved to have a much broader scope of using the gift of photography to help those in need.

My works have been featured in numerous publications and I exhibit (ir)regularly in Japan and internationally (although the Photohoku project has remained my primary focus for the last several years.) I tend to keep commercial work off of this website but I do work professionally and regularly in the fields of portraiture, editorial, product and commercial, architecture, fashion, and beyond. I am available always grateful for commissions and opportunities to collaborate, providing portfolios and references upon request.
