He would photograph nearly everything that could be made into art. Pretty soon through his appreciation of contemporary art, he understood how to frame inanimate objects from pencils on a desk to obscurely grown weeds in green fields to make them appear "artsy."
Despite having no formal training, his time was consumed with photography blogs and film literature. It was then apparent to him that the way he had viewed and understood his beloved hobby was that of a formally learned artist. Brian then purchased his first Nikon D3200 and 50mm 1.8 lens and painstakingly learned his new instrument of joy.
He walked into the office of an old colleague he had met in his time in the laboratory industry . He was the owner of an entertainment company. He had asked Brian " How would you like to work for my company as a photographer?" Brian muttered "As much as this captivates me, I have no experience..." It was then Brian was offered to accompany him to all of his events being his "Personal Photographer." Like a spy, Mr. Brian analyzed his competitors, learned the tricks of the trade, and even sold his photos to unlucky photographers who did not make the grade.
FAST FORWARD... Eight years in, more than 200 events later, 10 cameras acquired, 20 lenses focused, and 100,000 images captured, Brian has not only understood the Art of the Photography, but discovered the Heart of Photography.
