Brian is a photographer and artist and lives in Belford, Northumberland. Originally from Scarborough, North Yorkshire he moved to Northumberland in 2004, having retired from an earlier career.
Brian has been a photographer for nearly 30 years.

The book featured over 200 photographs all taken, developed and printed by Brian and his co-author Ray Anthony. Many of these pictures are unique and provide a social record of the subject in the mid to late 1980’s, a changing time for the rail industry.
Brian has taken photographs of listed buildings in the north for the English Heritage 'Images of England' project.
He is a member of ’f8 The Borders Group of Photographers’.
Brian is also an artist and paints in various mediums including watercolours, pastels and acrylics.
His subjects are mainly landscapes or coastal scenes in and around the Borders area.
"There are certain views that work as a photograph and those that need something extra to create the right image. Painting provides that extra dimension".
