MOST Magazine Fitness JUN'15 ISSUE NO.2 | Page 143

He started out doing shoots for trade with
local models. It became apparent that he would
need to learn how to work with lighting since
control of light is the key to photographing people
during the daytime hours (when he was able to
do the shoots). Unless you are able to shoot in
the golden hours around sunrise and sunset, you
need to compensate for the strong, harsh lighting
conditions outside. Model shoots led to shooting
catalogs for some swimwear companies which
then led to his first print publication American
Curves Magazine. It was a glamour magazine with
a fitness edge that was run by Robert Kennedy
Publishing. That company also published Oxygen,
Muscle Mag, Reps, Clean Eating, etc. It became
clear that fitness was a logical next step.
While building a very solid clientele of
commercial clients in advertising, lifestyle, food,
corporate head shots, etc., Brian continued to work

with people in the fitness field. His background
in graphic design very much helped to push his
photography work towards the commercial look
that many magazines and companies look for.
Fitness shoots continue to be steady work for
Brian and his images have been published in many
fitness magazines. This has led to a real niche
of working with fitness competitors nationwide.
Brian’s business continues to grow and the list of
publications that his work has been published in
as features, editorials, and advertising is now quite
impressive. Brian’s work continues to evolve and
advance in new directions with lighting and visual
interest; there will always be something more to try.
Good is just not good enough.
Brian’s goal with every shoot is for people to
see the images and say, “Wow”. Hopefully that
is what you, as a reader are thinking looking at
these images.
