YES I GO OUTSIDE! Not sure if it’s my pale skin or fear that the word “Studio” means I don’t, but I’m asked that often enough to state it wherever possible. 60% of my sessions are offsite, mostly with professional lighting (looks natural, but no “racoon eyes” common with “natural-only” shooters.

Cameraphobe? You’re not alone. My mutual dislike and empathy are key to my success at putting people at ease. – Brian

Brian with my favorite of all teachers Dr. Wayne Dyer. (I study him even more since his “passing” than I did before meeting him).

My writing mentor-turned great friend and studio mate Graham Salisbury. Shortly after we attended Brendon Burchard’s High Performance Academy in San Jose CA, we did this writing workshop…

I entered professional competitions from ‘97 - ‘02, consistently winning hardware, but then studied Maslow’s self-acualization process. Had to “Become independent of the good opinion of other people.” I’m not ashamed of the awards, in fact I did appreciate the validation … just didn’t like the energy that surrounded the process. I didn’t feel as creative while “competing.”

I’m not one to get star-gazed, but being this close to Tony Robbins is no less as energetic as it was to spend multiple days with him in New York at his “Unleash the Power Within” conference. (yes, I walked on fire). He know how to light up a room in ways I still try to replicate in my cameraroom. (HA) He’s a powerhouse!
