Ever meet someone that didn’t fit into normal or just functions on a different channel than everyone else? Well that’s Brian S Smith.
Brian S. Smith was born to be a photographer? Maybe.
Living his whole life with two thumbs gave him an advantage others did not. He never learned what failure was, and never had limits to his dreams. At 19-years-old, Brian had his first full-time job shooting for an art directed magazine and from the first day of that job he knew it was the type of photography he wanted to do.
Brian’s photography experience, training and world perspective gives him the unique advantage of intimately knowing and understanding the advertising process and being able to seamlessly produce the art director’s vision. He also believes that a strong creative partnership is crucial in bringing about the perfect image, “For me it’s like the art director and writer partnership: what would most advertising campaigns be without both of them working together? I like to create that same partnership when it comes to the production of a campaign. It’s always going to yield a stronger image.”
“When people ask me what I do, I often pause for a moment not sure what to say. I am a photographer, but I am also a cyclist, Father, husband, inventor and a great kisser. I don’t actually make a product, but like inventors, I am a problem solver and that’s what I love about photography, cycling, father and husband. Each one of these jobs I have requires me to be challenged on a daily basis.”
The past 4 years have been great for bpdstudios despite the economy and the ever changing and saturated photography industry. “By all accounts we very successful, long client list, beautiful studio and an amazing staff we have found what works for us and do it well. We probably won’t be winning any major photography awards, but its not what we are about. We don’t see the projects as something for us, but for our clients and their success is what important to us.“
