Brandon began taking photos to show others the beauty he sees in the world. His photos consist of real moments with nature, often untouched, far away places that have not yet been shared or captured. An avid outdoorsman and adventurer, it is important to Brandon to share these moments within nature through his lens. His passion is to open the doors for people looking for the adventure of a lifetime in Alaska and to tell the story of exploring the wild places within the state.
Brandon was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. From a young age, he was exploring remote areas from his dad’s airplane or out of their family cabin at Judd Lake. Brandon grew up regularly fishing, hunting, hiking, skiing, snow machining, and flying. Brandon spent 7 years traveling between Alaska and New England to accommodate his high school and college hockey careers. He picked up photography in college after exploring Alaska during the summers. After graduating from Trinity College in 2017, Brandon returned home to follow his passion. Since graduating Brandon has won the Alaska Magazine photo contest, been a finalist for Smithsonian Travel photo of the year, and was nominated for best night photo by the Fine Arts Photography Awards. He works with Tordrillo Mountain Lodge, supplying photos and videos for their website and social media as well as the apparel company Stio. More recently has had a story published in Stio’s Mountain Town journal as he turns to writing about his adventures. Now, turning to being a pilot, you can find him flying around the state exploring the beautiful places. You can read more about his life in the latest USAtoday Hunt and Fish print in which he was featured in as well as follow him on instagram for write ups about his current travels.
