His work has been published in many books and he was a contributing photographer for the Council for the Protection of Rural England's 'Legacy' project in the early 1990's.

Brian has lectured on his personal photographic vision in the UK, Sweden, Spain and Ireland and has written for various magazines on editorial photographic ethics. The BBC made three documentary programmes about Brian's work and he has contributed to various BBC radio broadcasts including the 'Moral Maze', which he wouldn't advise to anyone !

Brian now divides his time between commissioned editorial work, personal projects, generic stock sold through Alamy and a growing corporate client base where his unobtrusive fly on the wall documentary style is highly regarded. He photographed 'Care' for the St Christopher's Hospice cancer charity, 'Whisky' for Chivas in Scotland, 'and the 'Baltic States' for the European Peoples Party in Brussels.

Brian has spent most of 2006 photographing for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission around the world. He is working on 'Remembered' a book to be published by Merrells in May 2007 and several touring exhibitions which will celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the CWGC.

His passion is photography, he is never without a camera, be it the latest digital confection, his well worn Leica or a cheap disposable. The important thing is what the image says, not how it was created, his great love is photographing shape and form using whatever light exists at any given time
