Based in LA, 2016 had Brian dividing his time between the US and China and thoroughly enjoying shooting on location in Shanghai and the Tibetan Plateau. Capturing the iconic 2017 Chevrolet Camaro on the historic docks of the enormous Port of Shanghai made for some pretty dramatic and epic shots!

Traveling to the extremely rural areas of Qinghai, China to shoot the SUV GS8 from GAC Motor, Brian was fortunate to photograph in some of the most spectacular and arresting location landscapes in the Northern Hemisphere.

"I am grateful for an inspiring and rewarding 2016, and looking forward to what 2017 has in store. As always, a heartfelt 'thank you' to everyone who has made this journey possible."

"Crew is everything. With a solid team, anything is possible. I have been very fortunate to work with truly amazing crews in the States, as well as China! I thank them all for their support and company.

In recent months, I have shot multiple ad campaigns for Chevrolet in Shanghai with MRM//McCann. This year also brought global digital and print work for Infiniti in central California for the Designory in Long Beach, as well as directing an accessory video for the gorgeous Q60 Infiniti coupe.

Most mornings, I wake up feeling like I’ve won the jackpot: I’m blessed to work with so many talented and forward-thinking individuals who collaborate in a way that always enhances the result beyond anything I could do on my own. Each project, each day is different, allowing me to create in new and unique ways, so this work never gets old.

And who doesn’t want to travel to remote and mysterious lands, that only add to the emotion, gratification and sense of play this work yields?"
