Bio

Brian Kirk has been displaying his work in art shows, galleries and museums since 1998, a mere 2 years after he started shooting. His daily focus is usually a moving target but has in varying degrees incorporated portrait, figure, fashion, fetish, landscape and architechtural subjects. His fans and detractors will all agree on one thing - that no one is neutral about his work.Brian shoots a variety of camera equipment including manual 35mm, autofocus 35mm, various medium format and 4x5 cameras as well as digital. All black and white film work is procesed by hand in his darkroom. All printing is done by the artist as well ...
