"I
started out as a photojournalist and spent some time hanging out with
the IRA in Northern Ireland. I learned to make myself invisible. It's
the same with movies. I can't get in the way yet I have to capture the
dramatic moment of each scene. I like to capture people when they're
most expressive of their truest selves. I look for spontaneity.
Photography is a form of expression for me. I come from a family of
writers, but I use images instead of words. Plus I get to work in a
T-shirt and jeans and meet really interesting people."
Brian has worked shooting stills on over 75
movies and with an array of directors, including Martin Scorsese, Woody

ability to capture the inner spirit of the subject; his career has
spanned over 40 years preserving timeless moments in film, music and
sports history. His book, Woody Allen at Work, is a classic.
