Brendan F. Rains is a documentary and fine art photographer based in New York City. He received a formal education in Photography and Imaging at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. His interests include existential philosophy, economics, and contemporary advertising, all of which inform his street photography.
In the past, Brendan’s work focused on negative externalities caused by the
modern American lifestyle. His images call back to an upbringing in the
Midwest and reflect the scenery and culture of his upbringing by evoking a feeling of solitude and individuality. Within his current work, each photographs attempts to illustrate the absurdities and outliers in everyday life. Brendan can infrequently be caught without his camera and as a result of this he is constantly photographing his environment.
