Photography By Texas Based Photographer Brian Shaw

Austin Photographer Brian Shaw places a bold emphasis on dramatic lighting, vibrant color, and expressive character which stands in stark contrast to the modern trend of faded lifestyle photography.

Powered by a love of cinema – and a background in video production – Brian’s photography suggests a bigger picture without overlooking the small details within a single frame. His lighting, direction, and compositions create a slightly weird, heightened state of drama that suggests that there’s more going on than meets the eye.

The final results are a hybrid of practical effects and subtle Photoshop wizardry that give a cinematic life to his subjects and a unique style to his work. Not one to settle though, his self-portrait project Selfish Concepts reveals even more versatility when it comes to creative inspiration and tone.
