Brian Hirschy

The man, the myth, the guy with all the strobes.

Brian is a working photographer living in Western China who has a passion for teaching photography, participating in the growing photographic community, and doing good rather than complaining in an effort to give back.  In late 2009 Brian helped start a company that facilitates one-of-a-kind Lumen Dei photo tours throughout Tibet.

Brian’s passion is unique photos of unique places and people while distinctly focusing on lighting techniques and the humanity, uniqueness and creativity that is found in every culture. Brian especially enjoy showing the dichotomy of modernization and it’s effects, both good and bad, on those cultures experiencing it for the first time.

The opposite of a minimalist by nature, but a forced minimalist by location, Brian enjoy recreating big studio shots with as little equipment as possible as well as exploring lighting setups in some of the most remote places in the world.
