Brian Walker was born in Switzerland in 1982.
 
At an early age photography became a means to developing his artistic
qualities and cultural knowledge.
 
In 1999 he began studying at the Art School of Vevey (Switzerland).
He completed a preparatory year followed by six months in artistic
formation.
 
In 2002 he began an Apprenticeship in "Studio Production" in Geneva,
while at the same time completing his courses at the Art School. The
apprenticeship helped him to further master artistic technique,   
participate in national and international advertising campaigns, and to
learn more about still life photography and fashion. His speciality was
digital retouching.
 
In 2006 he took a position with Dominique Issermann in Paris.
His job was to assist the photographer on shoots and to supervise
digital post productions for international advertising campaigns to do
with jewellery, fashion and beauty (chiefly for Chanel). Here he had
the opportunity to work in partnership with some of the most famous
art directors, models, hairdressers and make-up artists in the world.
As well as the photo shoots, his duties included compiling prints for
exhibitions and promotional web pages as well as the management of
the print archives. 
 
His work was rewarded by many prizes, and a publication with the
Swiss publisher "Xenia". Recently he received a grant to develop
artistic and commercial relations in Japan.
