Fine Art Photography of Natural & Built Landscapes

Images that capture the soul of wild places and the spirit of human design.

Wander without ever leaving the frame. Transform your walls into immersive visual escapes with authentic landscape photographs.

From the wild landscapes of Colorado, the American Southwest, and the Pacific Coast to vibrant cityscapes and the thoughtful designs of human creativity, each of my photographs tells its own unique story through exceptional light and a compelling composition.  Published in Outdoor Photographer, Landscape Photography Magazine, and NationalGeographic.com, and exhibited in New York, Boston, and Los Angeles, all of my images begin the same way, standing somewhere long enough to see the light change.  These are the photographs that turn your walls into windows on the world.

The Photography Collections

Step into the photography collections, spanning Colorado mountains, Southwest canyons, Pacific coastlines, cityscapes, waterfalls, and classic cars. Each image is from a place I’ve stood, waited, and watched the light do something worth remembering. Some took one try, others took years of going back until the light finally cooperated.  I hope you discover landscape photographs that resonate with you, make you pause and reflect, or simply inspire you. Please contact Brian with any questions or for a consultation.

This close-up of a single white rose was part of a larger rose bush on display at the Chicago Botanic Garden. I was able to isolate this single flower to show the details of the petals and highlight the contrast of the white flower against the dark background.
