More about Brennan F....
What do you love about your job?
I love the variety of skills and experiences one cultivates as a photographer. I love being the creative director behind a portrait project or headshot: choosing a beautiful/interesting set, choosing a mood that fits a client's vision, and noticing a person's aesthetic assets to focus on and amplify. I love the experience of being a "hunter of moments" in performance or event photography; exercising my perceptual acuity and awareness.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I have the most extensive experience in events photography through Upstate Live (concert photography), freelance work for dance companies/studios (Bodywerk Dance/Oakland, CA, Gotta Dance Studios Syracuse, NY), and several fundraisers, B'nei Mitzvahs, weddings, birthday parties and theater performances. I stand apart from the crowd with this type of photography because I am very quick on my feet, and have learned to anticipate beautiful moments. Possession of the photojournalistic skill of being in position when "the magic happens" makes my work special.
