I'm a jack-of-all-trades photographer and a writer.

I love photographing nature and people the most. I also love architecture, wildlife, high speed photography, and most everything in between. My photographs tend to border on fiction, and thus look surreal. It's how my imagination sees things, I suppose.

Fiction was my first love. I still write nearly every day. My style is becoming fairly distinct. Maybe you'll have the pleasure of reading it someday in published form. At least that's my great hope.

I was born and raised in southern California, in a decent suburb of Los Angeles county. I have loved photography since my early teens, and I have wanted to be a published author since I was in 5th grade. I currently have a 500-page novel under my belt that I am busy trying to rewrite. I am also currently working on the first of a series of novels that transcend multiple genres.

I now live most of my life in San Luis Obispo, California, where I attend Cal Poly State University.

If you ever have any questions about my work, just drop me a note. I'd be happy to help you improve. I also love receiving feedback so that I can improve. My philosophy is, if we as artists aren't getting better, if we aren't moving forward, then we're just falling behind. The world is always in need of newness, and artists are supposed to provide that newness. What better way is there to improve than by helping each other out?

Hey everyone,

Just making the brief and exciting announcement that I shot my first wedding yesterday and it went quite well for a first time experience!  I enjoyed it immensely.  We had some interesting circumstances, such as rain and having to move the ceremony indoors, but those obstacles I think were a blessing.  It helped me to learn more the first time out, to learn fast, and to realize that one must always expect the unexpected.  I also learned of some extra things that I should always bring along with me to weddings:  Advil, band-aids, and good humor.

The couple was amazing, as was their wedding party.  We had a blast, and I can't wait to get out there and do it again.

On another note, my newest deviation, , is in 1st place in a poll for it to be featured on the #Divine-Photography group page, and I'm super thrilled about that.  Things seem to be on the up-and-up for me with photography these days!  I couldn't be more happy, or grateful.  I've got so many wonderful people in my life, and wonderful clients coming to me, and the wonderful things happening at DA are just some more icing on an already tasty cake.

Oh, and need I say my DA page just reached 30,000 page views!  Unbelievable!  Thank you, everyone!


Best,

Brandon
