Brian W Kelley

Just moved to Chattanooga TN for my primary work, so if you are in the area and interested in working together let me know.

I have been shooting photography "more seriously" for about two years now. I have always considered myself artistic and creative. I used to draw, but have found photography to be a much more interesting medium for my personality. I really got interested in photography while traveling to Denmark on my own, when I really started to find myself focusing on what would make an interesting picture without people I knew in it.

My full-time career is in Marketing/Advertising. I am a Account Service/Brand Strategist and have worked on numerous accounts. My last employer embraced my interest in photography and I was able to shoot photos for web sites and ads for Tobacco-Free Living, New Orleans Police Department, and New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau. The highlight was walking the Zulu parade with the Chief of Police during Mardi Gras.

I am here mainly because of my interest in glamour photography with a bit of a fashion twist I guess. Or so I have been critiqued by friends. I enjoy making interesting images and collaborating with other talented professionals. I hope to continue to grow as a photographer and maybe even break-even on all this darn equipment.

Over the last few years I have lived in Detroit, San Diego, and New Orleans. My career currently finds me in the Lansing/Detroit area for an indefinite amount of time. So I hope to work with as many of you as possible before I must move on.

I am open to comments and critiques so look forward to hearing what you think of my work, and what could make it better. Look forward to hearing from you.

Brian
