Brian’s lifestyle photography for the 2016 Chicago Bears campaign ‘Chicago Style’, appeared on bus shelters, bus wraps, and billboards throughout the city.
Leon Bridges, Trent Reznor, Jeff Tweedy, Michael Shannon, Nic Offerman, Dwayne Wade, Skylar Diggins, Jordan Spaeth, Duncan Keith, and Sen. Dick Durbin & Tammy Duckworth include a few of the notable folks Brian has had the honor of working with.
As the President of the Midwest chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers, Brian is dedicated to advancing the practice of image making, and mentoring the next generation of art entrepreneurs.
Currently, Brian is collaborating on a feature documentary celebrating Wax Trax! Records. It explores the Chicago store and record label that helped build the new wave, punk, and industrial music scenes.
