Brian Minnich is the fastest man in the universe. A world class log roller, a professional insomniac and a wine aficionado trained by Baccus, himself. But seriously, Brian has always viewed the world in his very own sui generis way.

Schooled in graphic and fine arts at a prestigious United States College he soon developed his own visions that are now being shared with the rest of the world through his photographic stories. Brian spent many years in Atlanta GA acquiring all the knowledge one could ever learn at the hands of world-renowned photographers of all temperaments. He has not only mastered excellent technical skills, but also, developed great client relationship techniques, the art of the ‘bribe’.

His endeavors now translate into his centrally located, full service production studio in the Southeast United States where he is partnered with Creatives from Washington DC to New York City to Los Angeles CA. He is called upon nationally and internationally to create images in a manner representative of his unique point of view, shooting People, Places and Things for clients ranging from Hotels to High-tech, Agencies to Publishers, Architecture to Product, Creating & Traveling Around the World. Brian’s latest achievements have included a place among 25 in the International Finch Contest, as well as accolades for his self-promo newspaper “Chicago, in 4 days” in the “2006 Communication Arts Magazine Design Annual”.

Recent political events have brought his focus back to basics and the fundamentals of the Art of Photography. He has been traveling the United States visiting various cities and cultures illustrating them through an old 4x5 press camera without a viewfinder and hand developing the film. His goal now is to capture a moment the way it really was, using simple traditional techniques that are true to the romance of the scene and honor the style of the era of the 4x5 press camera. The intrinsic value of an intangible image becoming a tangible hand-processed sheet of B&W film to survive the generations that lay before it while honoring the heritage from which it was created. No viewfinder, no computer, no auto focus ...just instinct, vision, raw feelings of being in a moment for only a brief second while all the layers unfold into the simple light-tight box.

Brian believes that prints aren't heavy, images are...Cheerio!
