Born in Los Angeles, Brian has been making photographs for over 50 years. From the time he was a child, he has been captivated by light, color, texture, and movement. He studied photography and design at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem and at Otis/Parsons School of Art and Design, Los Angeles. After honing his technical skills at several commercial photography studios, he opened his first professional photo studio in Pasadena, CA, later incorporating as Public Works Productions. In 1998, Brian moved his full-service commercial photo & design studio to a larger space in Altadena, CA. Even with his commercial success, Brian’s true passion was always about creating fine art photography. Throughout his photographic career, his images have spanned the globe and covered a wide range of genres. His stirring scenic and landscape images expose the beauty of nature, the influences of natural and human-made events, and how the earth adapts. In his photo-journalistic portraits of life in the Middle East, Europe, North and Central America, we are moved by his thought-provoking photographic studies of the human experience, and reminders of times past that are shockingly relevant to our world today. In one of his latest series, Brian photographed portraits of the non-federally recognized and believed-to-be extinct Chemakum tribe on the Washington Olympic Peninsula. Brian has exhibited in group and solo shows across the country. His work is held in private collections worldwide.
