"Look Closer. Think Deeper. Explore More"
Photography has taken me to incredible places—from the icy Arctic Ocean in Alaska to the massive Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica—and many unforgettable spots in between. But for me, photography is about more than capturing beautiful images. It’s about inspiring curiosity, sharing stories, and connecting people to the amazing world we live in.
That’s why I created brainwork! art. I wanted my work to stand out and mean something. The name comes from a fun twist on how people often misspell my name—“Brian” becomes “Brain.” It’s a perfect fit because my photography isn’t just about what you see; it’s about making you think and see things in new ways.
I’m passionate about experimenting with a wide range of techniques to explore and share the world in fresh and exciting ways. From capturing sweeping aerial views with helicopters, planes, or drones to creating stunning timelapses, infrared shots, macros, panoramas, or light-painted scenes, I’m always seeking creative approaches to storytelling. Every photograph is a chance to reveal something unexpected, spark curiosity, and maybe even share a bit of knowledge along the way.
At the heart of my work is my motto: “Look Closer. Think Deeper. Explore More.” It’s a reminder to slow down and pay attention to the details, to dig into the meaning behind what we see, and to keep pushing boundaries—whether it’s traveling to a new place or looking at a familiar scene with fresh eyes.
Through my photography, I hope to inspire you to see the beauty and complexity of our world. It’s not just about the picture—it’s about the story it tells and the questions it sparks.
