About Us

ON THE FRONT LINES
Bryan Hicks is an accomplished professional photographer with over 11 years of experience. Starting his photographic career while still at school, Bryan, at the ripe old age of 18, had his first photos published way back in 1983 in "The Stars and Stripes" - a major US Military newspaper.

This early success prompted a freelance photojournalist career, and Bryan started supplying national magazines and journals with his photos in the early 90's. Published more than 200 times in 45 different magazines. Bryan has spent the past decade on the front lines perfecting his craft. No amount of classroom education can prepare a person for the real world situations.

Bryan was honorably discharged 1987 from the United States Marine Corps, with a maturity and work ethic that only comes with a real world education.

Bryan's strong business sense has resulted in a very successful array of businesses encompassing a wide range of interests. Despite the demands of these businesses, Bryan has continued to drive his photography business with the relentless enthusiasm that you only get from doing something you love.

Two of my great passions in life are travel and photography. I believe that travel broadens one's view of the world. Experiencing other cultures, meeting people from other communities and other countries and seeing the beauty, and sometimes ugliness, of the world has helped me understand that all of our lives are at once interconnected and individual. It has made me better appreciate my own home and culture as well as that of the people I've met and the lands I've seen and I have become a much more tolerant person as a result.

Through my photography I seek to document my own personal experiences, to capture scenes and events as I see them and to share with others the beauty and diversity of the world I've seen. As the images of other photographers have inspired me to explore the world, I hope my own contributions will inspire others to do the same. I view the art of photography as a subtractive process, a distilling of reality into a personal vision. As such I often use the tools of modern photography – different film stocks, filters, digital enhancement – to try to capture an image that embodies emotions I felt at the moment I tripped the camera's shutter

When quality counts, Experience is essential.
