and, in between, I'm outstanding in my field–literally. I have a garden. :D

  • Hantz Févre

    Brian exceeded my expectations in every aspect. From the moment we initiated the project, Brian demonstrated an unparalleled level of patience and professionalism.

    Annie J-Baptiste

    “The photo shoot was a blast, and I felt immediately at ease. It’s a true testament to Brian’s creative genius that he can bring out the best in a diversity of subjects as he does.”

    Devarshi Shah

    Brian has a way to make you feel really comfortable during the process, and the results show! Diligent follow up and responsiveness made it really easy during the entire process.

    Estefani R.

    If you need someone to visually tell YOUR story, contact Brian. He is beyond professional, super sweet and kind, and fun to work with.

    His expertise ensures stunning, high-quality photos that are more authentic and engaging than the headshot you probably have on your profile right now!

    He responded quickly to my inquiry, set me up with an hour-long session, worked quickly and effectively on edits and touch-ups, and provided me the finished product just a few days after our shoot.

    Kristie Fisher

    As a people leader in a creative field, I’ve learned that what might appear to be the “little things” can actually be some of the most meaningful things to team identity and culture.

    Brian is so talented, funny and wonderful. It was an experience, not an appointment. And he let me pick vegetables from his garden afterwards. I would highly recommend!!!

    Geena Chan

    Brian is absolutely amazing. He's a master of his craft, a kind and hilarious and wonderful person, and a total artist soul.

    Julie Morgan

    I am in treatment for life. Right now that means IV chemo. It's not the balding type for now, but that is coming. I wanted pictures of me with a full head of hair and a big smile.

    Sydney Coleman

    I was thrilled with Brian's headshots and the overall experience was so fun and enjoyable. Brian really put me at ease. See how fabulous I look in this Google headshot (thanks to Brian!!).

    Brian was a pleasure to work with - affable, skilled, funny, and with a very keen eye for small things that can make a difference in the final pictures. Loved working with him!

    It was a fun experience and very easy to follow instructions to get images that were authentic and not stiff. My picture actually looks like me!

    He made the whole process not only super comfortable, but lots of fun too. It was a joy to work with him, and I'll definitely be sending referrals his way.

    Very responsive, kind, and easy to work with. He definitely put me at ease, which is so important in this kind of process, and his work was excellent.

    Got an amazing photo all while having a blast. Brian communicates clearly throughout the whole process, highly recommended.

    Brian took headshots of each of our staff and made sure that what could have easily been a logistical nightmare was smooth and actually a lot of fun!

Everything i do comes from a place of radical authenticity, integrity, emotional intelligence, and a genuine love for people.

My background (and first love) is Hospitality. For over 25 years i’ve working in bars, restaurants and cafes and now i do it in my photo studio and remotely with clients from all over the world. A little back of the napkin math says I’ve connected with well over half a million people—and a small handful have become very close friends and fam.
