Brian S. Smith

Brian S. Smith was born to be a photographer. He’s had a camera in his hand since the age of 16 and his passion for photography continues today. At 19-years-old, Brian had his first full-time job shooting for an art directed magazine and from the first day of that job he knew it was the type of photography he wanted to do.

After college, Brian spent the next three years traveling the world, studying under the world’s top photographers and art directors. These teachers showed him how to use his talents to achieve the goals he set for himself. He models his workflow and production process after the needs of his clients and the demands of the industry.

Brian’s photography experience and training gives him the unique advantage of intimately knowing and understanding the advertising process and being able to seamlessly produce the art director’s vision. He also believes that a strong creative partnership is crucial in bringing about the perfect image, “For me it’s like the art director and writer partnership: what would most advertising campaigns be without both of them working together? I like to create that same partnership when it comes to the production of a campaign. It’s always going to yield a stronger image.”

Brian says, “Taking pictures has never been a job for me, it’s who I am. It’s about getting to do what you want to do in life. It’s about having goals with each project that are presented and getting instant satisfaction when they are achieved. It is about, understanding, creating and executing.”
