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%u2019s 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%u2019s 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%u2019s goal with every shoot is for people to see the images and say, %u201cWow%u201d. Hopefully that is what you, as a reader are thinking looking at these images.
