Chasing is body of work based around emotional trips that occur throughout life. They are fleeting, intense and something that these photographs are attempting to embody as well as me trying to preserve. Images of love,paranoia as well as a journey into the dark and lighter side of the brain. “Chasing” is depicting emotion almost as piece of music where there are climax’s and cliffhangers,short and dense.




FJORD: How do you feel the Internet has affected the way you work? Have you changed the style of work you do or the way you present your work based on the way the Internet has changed how photography functions?

BRANDON: I would say the internet affected the way that I work by inspiring the what I make and see. Almost everything that I hear, read and see is from the internet. I would also say that unconciously the Intenet has affected the way I present my work, but I think everything I make is always an extension of myself.

F: How do you gain inspiration for your work? Where do you look for ideas?

B: I gain most of my inspiration from music and family/friends, pretty much anything that "speaks to me" on more than one level is where I draw my inspiration. Riding my bike inspires me, it gives me time to clear my head and think.

F: What are some of your favorite websites?

B: Mostly photo and design blogs. It's great to see great, new photography; as well as a collective group of people who are motivated and passionate about their work. I also enjoy Velonews.com.

F: Do you have any suggestions to help out new and emerging photographers gain exposure? How did you first start to promote yourself and your work?

B: I find that my website is my greatest vehicle for getting my work out to people, as well as sending your work out wherever you can. It's a great help to just send your work out to people and to be persistent.

F: Where do you see your work going in the next year and the future in general?<

B: I see my work going in the same direction, yet progressing. aAs far as the upcoming year, some more work in China and at home. If all goes as planned, I would like to see it evolve into something that could get me work as an editorial photographer. I would love to just travel and shoot.
